Re^5: Win32::Taskscheduler failed to install on win7

Most likely, your program ("tap.pl") depends on getting launched with the current directory being C:\Perl64\bin. You could try to debug this by launching it with the full path from the directory:

cd C:\Perl64\bin
perl -w C:\Perl64\bin\tap.pl

If the program expects to be launched from that directory, either change it or launch it from that direcctory.

After some trial and error, it turns out guys were right. There is no strict need of a .bat or .exe file. The problem was as mentioned in my last post. Windows couldn't run them from any other directory than C:\Perl64\bin . What I did was a simple workaround. I first make my scheduler to change directory to C:\Perl64\bin and in the same command I run tap.pl. Oh and I'm using "at" command btw. $status = `at 3:09 cmd /c cd C:\\Perl64\\bin&tap.pl`; [download] It works. Further discussion/suggestions are welcome.	[reply] [d/l]
