Hi  
I am trying the action “Add Scheduled Task”, on FB5  
I get the following error:  
"Exe : C:\WINNT\system32\schtasks.exe - does not exist!"  
When I try to search this program on my machine, it isn’t there.  
Am I missing something?

Hi Daphna,  
  
What version of Windows are you using?

(alternatively, you can use the “Schedule Add” action which uses the Windows “at” command)

BTW - the "Tools - Scheduler " does work.

Ah, yes… schtasks.exe is not included in Windows 2000.  
  
Here’s a good article that might help:
