Windows 7: Task Scheduler Fails when Running VB Compile EXE

Hi Everyone,

I am puzzled.

I created an exe with Visual Studio 2010 to automate the execution of a 2nd program.

This exe requires 2 command line arguments.

When I run this exe from a Short cut with the arguments defined everything works as desired.

However, when I make a Scheduled Task to run this exe, the 2nd program does not get run and I get various results in the Last Run Status - most of the time the result is 0x41306.

The task is set up as follows:

- run whether user is logged in or not
- run with highest privileges
- configure for Windows Vista / Windows Server 2008
although using Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2 does not work either
- the schedule is set up and enabled
- the actions point to the exe create by VB
- the only conditions set is to wake computer to run
- settings are allow task to be run on demand / stop task if running more than
3 days / if task does not end when requested force it to stop

From the task history I get the following logs:

===============

Task Scheduler successfully completed task "\Netro-Wirecast-464-1100" , instance "{54a20687-ad3b-405a-a7a9-2c89cb43ce76}" , action "C:\Users\Sunday Services\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\WireCastLauncher\WireCastLauncher\bin\Release\WireCastLauncher.exe" with return code 3762504530.

Task Scheduler successfully finished "{54a20687-ad3b-405a-a7a9-2c89cb43ce76}" instance of the "\Netro-Wirecast-464-1100" task for user "HBCMP3RECORDER\Sunday Services".

===============

Can someone please shed some light as to what I am doing wrong so that I can get this working?

Thanx so much!

Hi Everyone,

Nobody has any ideas????????????

Help.........................

This is so goofy and I really need to get this going.

Any ideas would be much appreciated as I am at my wits end.

Thanx so much!

I just had this same issue - tho solved it by completing the Start in (optional) field within the Edit Action panel.

If your VB application has other required assets in the folder (XML, third-party executables) the scheduled task seems to fail unless you specify the folder.

Let me know if this solves the issue you're experiencing

Thank you so much, it worked for me and saved a lot of strain

Thanks, it also worked for me!
