Running a schedule to open an autoit file

[jbennett]

1 last question,

I have a scheduled task that runs as the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account (for various reasons) and my AutoIT .exe wont run within the task.

Is there any way I can get the .exe file to work in this way?

thanks again

Should work to my knowledge. What doesn't work when you run it like that ?

One thing to remember is that the working dir won't be the @Scriptdir (if I recall correctly)

The .exe works if I click on it, however when the .exe is run from a scheduled task the following message appears:

AutoIT Error

Line-1:

error:unable to execute the external program

access is denied

hmmm?

You are asking the same stuff in a different thread.

Please keep your question to one thread.

What program are you trying to run?

Maybe post an snippet of what you are doing and fails when ran with the scheduler?
