We just released a new version a few days after you posted this. Can you try the latest version 2.1.1-beta (
http://minion.gg) and let me know if it works for you? There have been some very large changes (no need for C++ redist and upgraded Minion to use JDK8). I'm hoping your issue is now resolved in this new release or at the very least sheds some more light on the issue.
