Windows 7 Task Scheduler Fails To Run Batch File

Jun 28, 2011

I have set up several tasks on a new installation of Windows 7 and they are working as expected.But when I attempted to run a batch file it fails. It works fine from the command line and I can run it from the scheduler on Windows XP manually (although not on the timer yet).What is about batch files that I need to know to make them run from the Task Scheduler?

Windows 7 Task Scheduler / System.InvalidOperationException Was Unhandled

Nov 19, 2009

I'm upgrading from Windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit, and I'm using VB in VS 2008. Under XP, I used the Task Scheduler to run a program at 3pm every weekday, and it ran fine. Now in W7, when the Task Scheduler runs the programs, it encounters an exception when it gets to the code MyForm.ShowDialog(). The error is:

System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled
Message="Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application."
Source="System.Windows.Forms"

[code].....

When I run the program from a shortcut with the same parameters as in the Task Scheduler (i.e. the shortcut runs the .exe file with some paramters after it), it runs fine, so I'm guessing there is some setting in the Windows 7 Task Scheduler I need to set, but I can't find it. I've tried checking "Run with highest privledges" (and unchecking it), but that didn't help. I have tried it with the "Hidden" box unchecked and checked and that didn't help. I've also tried it with "Configure for" set either way (Windows 7 or Vista). So how do I get rid of this error?

Add Program To Windows Task Scheduler To Schedule Automatic Execution?

Jan 26, 2010

I only know how to add your program to windows task scheduler to schedule automatic execution but what if you wanted to have a particular thread run on a weekly schedule. Someone mentioned windows powershell for all these types of scripting; but it seems too hard to learn on short notice.

Custom Task Scheduler Service?

Jun 12, 2012

I have been working for some time on a service that will act as a task scheduler and perform a shutdown action at one of 3 given shutdown times. Before you cringe and ask why not use the task scheduler, I should explain that permissions do not allow users to "create" scheduled tasks and therefore a creative work-around is required. In any case, I am still new to VB, but am including my code below. I want the service to check an alarm time every minute and launch a shutdown application (in the user's context - if logged in) if that time is NOW.

Multiple Runtime Exceptions When Clicking Run From Task Scheduler / Works Fine Running Application From Project Folder

Jun 3, 2011

So I wrote a VB.net project in Visual studio.I have a scheduled task that is set to run the program every morning at 10AM. If I use windows explorer and double click the application, it runs fine.If I open task scheduler, open the task properties, and browse to the application, then choose run, the program fails, due to Runtime exceptions.I know I have the path entered correctly, since I can debug the instance when it crashes from the task scheduler. VS2010 pulls up my source code.The exception is System.IO.FileNotFoundException, remember, it works fine when I double click the app. If attach a debugger to the process after it is executed from the task scheduler, I can then restart the debugger, and Voila!, The application runs fine.

Windows 7 - How To Incorporate A Batch File

Jul 23, 2010

I wanted to make mysql dump files using a batch file and an app made through visual studio 2008.How can I incorporate this batch file or call it from vb?There is a code like this in vb.net but its using an absolute address:

Process.Start("C:exeexecute.exe")

How do I modify this so that I could just execute the file without providing the exact address. Or is there any place in the file system(windows 7) where I could just copy the exe file and just call it this way?

Sql Server - SSIS - Killing Excel.exe When Data Flow Task Fails?

May 10, 2012

How can I kill the excel.exe process in SSIS during the data flow task when it fails? There could be multiple instances of Excel.exe running from other packages that are perfectly valid so I don't want to loop through all instances killing them.My problem is that during the data flow task the process will sometimes fail due to a sheet that is named incorrectly or missing columns. This keeps an instance of excel.exe running which is now an orphan task eating up resources so it needs to be killed.At the same time there are other SSIS packages running that are accessing their own excel.exe process and aren't having any issues. So how can I kill the orphan excel.exe process without impacting the other excel.exe process?

Control Batch Application From VB Windows Form?

Aug 4, 2010

I have a VB windows application and I need a way to control input output from this windows application to a batch file.The batch script is quite complex so converting to a VB console application is out of the question because it will too much time.An simplified example is this:I have this batch file test.bat(just for example)

@echo off
set /p choice=name : %choice%
echo Hello %choice%!

In this batch file the user input the name which is then stored in a variable and after the user press enter on the screen will appear Hello + user input.

1. Is it possible to enter the name in a textbox from the windows form and by pushing a send button pass the name to the batch application and then the batch file to continue the operation of displaying the Hello message?

2. After the batch file finishes the operations it will open another console windows (3) with status of the various operations that take place on the system(in my case connected users to a server)Is it possible to hide this child console windows that are generated after my main .bat application finished the operations of opening connections?Can this be done from the windows application or I need to modify the .bat script?

3. Is there a way to collect the console windows output in a textbox from the windows application?One idea that came to me was to redirect the console output to a textfile and then read the textfile in the VB application but I want to know if there is another way.

4. Is it possible to hide this batch file inside the windows application exe?
