I sent the 3 log files to the mentioned e-mail-adress.

I forgot to tell in the email the following:
After the restart w7fc startet. For the first 10 seconds the symbol of xbmc and otr decoder had a crossed out red circle. A few seconds later the correct symbol appeared

XBMC is located on TrueCrypt auto-mounted volume?
Probably there was a reason to notice that in advance.
While we are investigating the logs in depth please try set “mount as removable” in TrueCrypt mounting option and retry. The positive results may speed up the process.

W7FC does support removable media and when the media arrives W7FC reassigns the applications zone taking into account the media is new actually (regardless of the media is mounted on the same drive letter).
However the media must be marked removable. Unfortunately, TrueCrypt does not set the required option as default.

you are right. XBMC and the decoder are located on a truecryp volume. i marked the volume as removeable and it works

i dont prefer the removeable device mode but i think there is no other solution at the moment?

The problem is common.
When a new device arrives Windows assigns new (so called) volume path to the device (i.e /device/TrueCryptVolumeX) each time. The volume path is volatile, so the next time device arrives the path would be /device/TrueCryptVolumeY. Then the mount manager trying to identify the device is able to assign the same drive letter (e.g X: ) to the device most probably and the user does not notice any mount related changes finally.
However W7FC (and the underlying security core) application permissions are set on Volume path basis. So W7FC must determine new device as “removable” first and if the arrived device is marked appropriately, W7FC just reassigns the same X:\...\xbmc.exe to the new volume path.
Without "removable" sign W7FC can not perform the trick. Reassigning all the W7FC listed applications on every new device arrival is too time consumptive unfortunately.
