Scheduling batch jobs in Server 2008 R2 Enter

[marlondyer]

I have created a simple mirroring batch job. However when i try to use the
built in task scheduler i am consistently getting the same error "%1 is not a
valid win32 application".

I have tried various switches and arguments and no success. Any assistance
would be appreciated. My Platform is server 2008 R2 enterprise x64

What do you mean by built-in task scheduler? RealtimeSync? Where is this error
message coming from? What versions are you using?

[marlondyer]

Server 2008 has a built in task scheduler, which is similar to what you would
find in windows xp for example. The task scheduler is what is generating the
error. The task is set up to run every hour and copy/mirror left to write.
thats how the freefilesync batch job was created.

Did you specify "%1" somewhere? A good approach would be to first make some
simple task run via task manager (by using some google advice) and if this
works, then try to schedule the FFS batch job.

[marlondyer]

All other tasks on that system run as schedule from the simple to the more
complex. The "%1" is not included in any of the commands or arguments for the
task.

You could try different ways of invoking the executable like:
c:\programs\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe c:\task.ffs_batch
or directly
c:\task.ffs_batch

In general there shouldn't be any difference in starting FFS compared to any
other executable.

I will give that a ry and report my results
