The Foreground mode is not broken - but a lot more sensitive.
Here is the quick explanation:
Background modeThe Task is executed from the windows service VisualCron.
Foreground modeThe VisualCron service tries to unlock the desktop or login to the desktop depending on the current lock/login state. If your settings (from install) is correct the VCTray is started automatically and connects to the VisualCron service. The service tells VCTray to execute the process (in the new desktop context). VCTray reports back to the service the result.
There are many reasons Foreground execution could fail1. if your system is setup wrong so the detection of the OS bit size goes wrong (if it is 32 or 64 bit).
2. if you are using Windows Vista and forward and have not prepared security settings described to allow unlock of desktop
3. if the Credentials used are incorrect
4. if desktop logon is too slow and the VisualCron service times out
The log file (log_serverDATE.txt) should give you a hint what is going wrong.
