Hi Simon,

We found the error. It is in the atomsDownload function. The code opens a 
progress bar only when it is downloading from the internet, but it always 
tries to close this bar. As we were never connected to the internet we were 
getting the undefined variable error for the winId variable.

In our case we could simply solve the problem by commenting out these command 
lines. But, otherwise with this modification, if we did, we would have a 
progress bar that never closes.

Thanks a lot for your help,
Best regards,
Victor.
