WinSCP stuck at connecting?

Hi,

I setup a scheduled task a while ago to use WinSCP to upload files with SFTP, using the 'Generate Code' on the Transfer Options dialog, copied to a batch file. At first it worked fine, but all of a sudden it stopped uploading, and WinSCP.com/exe just hangs without doing anything it looks like, and the log file stops at line 7 with 'Process ID: <processid>'.

This also happens if I run the batch file my self. The funny thing is that 2 other users on the server can run the batch file and it works fine... If setting the scheduled task to run as either of those users it will not work and log file stops again at 'Process ID: <processid>'.

I also tried creating a new ad user, adding it to local administrators group on the server and running the scheduled task with it, and not working.

If I generate code in format 'Command-line', I can use that in a cmd window, but not in a batch file.

I have uninstalled it, removing everything and installed again, and still the same.

I hope anyone have an idea of why this happens and how to fix it...

Output of logfile:
