Hi,
I am having problems in trying to create a scheduled task from within
in application that carries out a health check on a client. I am using
VS 2005.

When the program runs it flashes a command prompt but does nothing.

Dim task As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("schtasks /create
/tn ""Test2"" /tr C:\WINDOWS\system32\calc.exe /sc daily /st 15:14:00
/ru ""System""")
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(task)

Any help will be gratefully received
Neil.

Is the application running as a non-administrator? If so this won't work
because you have to be an admin to run schtasks.

Otherwise what is the return code of schtasks?

Hi Jared,

still does not return an error code.
