I've been running SyncToy 1.4 under XP Media Center 2005 to take scheduled
overnight backups. Its all been working well until I upgraded to Vista. I
now have two issues:
(1) When I click 'Help', nothing happens
(2) Though the backup schedule has been carried forward, and the Task
Scheduler schedules the task at the right time it reports "Task Scheduler
failed to launch action ... Error Value: 2147942403"
The same happens if I attempt to run the task from Task Scheduler manually;
SyncToy runs fine if I run it manually.
Can anyone help?
 
Yes, I can ... answering my own post ...

With the Vista upgrade, although the scheduled task is migrated it appears
to belong to the old incarnation of the user rather than the new Vista one.
Exporting the task from task scheduler, deleting the task from the schedule
and re-creating it by importing again solves the scheduling problem and the
task now runs.

I still don't get any 'Help' though ...
