scheduled task windows 7

[Everton]

I'm having problems getting XmltvGUI to run from a windows 7 x64 scheduled task. I have no problems running:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\XMLTV GUI\XmltvGUI.exe" /Grab

from the program's target window, but when I try to do this in a scheduled task it doesn't work. I have:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\XMLTV GUI\XmltvGUI.exe"

in the program line, and:

/Grab

in the add arguments line.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for help.

what do you mean by doesnt work?

[Everton]

nothing happens when I run the task i.e. xmltvGUI doesn't launch (well, something flickers on the screen for a millisecond and is gone). If I run manually with Grab in the 'target' I have no problems, it's just via a scheduled task. I've tried creating a bat file which again works fine manually, but not via a scheduled task.

is a log file created?

[Everton]

no, nothing - it just says 'Running' for ages when I run the task and doesn't stop.

How do you schedule the job on your pc?

got it working but dont know how....I deleted the argument grab and just had the task open the program ("C:\Program Files (x86)\XMLTV GUI\XmltvGUI.exe") to check that bit worked, which it did. Then I went back and added /grab to the arguments and it worked. I guess windows got a bit confused when the argument is added at the start
