These are my changes as per ur advice <CustomAction Id="CreateScheduledTask" Return="check" Directory="SystemFolder" ExeCommand= "C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /create /tn MySchedule /tr d:\MyApp1\MyApp1\bin\MyApp1.exe /sc monthly /d 15 /RU schedman /RP Schedule1" Execute= "deferred"/> Please tell if this is alright. I also added <Directory Id="SystemFolder" Name="System"> May be there is a problem in my execute sequence. I tried InstallFinalize but it gives error. <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="CreateScheduledTask" After="InstallInitialize">NOTInstalled</Custom> <Custom Action="RemoveScheduledTask" Before="RemoveFiles">Installed</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> Thanks Mahesh > Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2010 22:07:43 +0100 > From: n...@x2systems.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Creating a scheduled task using wix installer after running a setup.msi file > > I think the problem is that you are not specifying the full path to > schtasks. > > I do something similar for a non-public application in the following > way: > > <!-- Embed a copy of schtasks --> > <Binary Id="schtasks" > SourceFile="$(var.ProjectDir)\Support\schtasks.exe" /> > <CustomAction Id="CreateMaintenanceTask" BinaryKey="schtasks" > ExeCommand="/create /tn "My Task" /tr "\"[#My Batch > File.bat]\"" /sc DAILY /st 02:00:00 /ru System" > Execute="deferred" Return="check" Impersonate="no" /> > > I should point out that redistributing schtasks.exe this way is probably > against a licence agreement.
