Change Farm Utility ( CHFARM) Has Stopped Working

Well, this issue was occurred to me last weekend, when I was busying myself changing my Citrix XenApp servers from farm A to farm B, using GUI. Why? because I have nothing to do (on weekend? seriously??). Please put my forever alone life aside, shall we? Well, this issue occurred to my XenApp 5 for Server 2008 farm. Hmm, Server 2008 is the keyword there... :)
