Why my batch file does not run properly in Task Scheduler

My .bat files do not work with Task Scheduler.

For testing purposes, I created a very simple, one line .bat file:

ECHO this is a test. > TestFile.txt

If I run this file by double-clicking it, it works correctly and created a text with a single line of text document.

But if I create a task to run this file, the text file is NOT created.  For the task history log, said that the task was started and completed successfully but no text file is created.

Any thoughts?  Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I solved my problem.

It turns out that you can't use the full path to the .bat file in "Program/script" field of the Scheduler of tasks but rather than actual .bat file name, then the rest of the way in the field "start in".

    I have a new HP Envy with Windows 8 desktop computer that still does not run properly. I have rebooted, restored (im doing this), ran chkdsk, sfc/scannow, malware, virus, uninstall/install etc and my machine wil always do not run for a long time without going through some sort of problem after an hour or two.  Can anyone suggest what to do about this? I read a lot of information online on all the windows 8 and fixes bugs, etc, but anything Microsoft/Windows, which ensures its customers, a hotfix or compesating their customers with software that still works. This isn't a hardware problem, and I can't keep day and bad shooting and trying to fix the day things in?

    Sincerely,
    A client who is a loss for words.
    Here are some problems in no particular order.
    1.) apps to not install it, and/or Windows saying they are when they are in fact not. The fix to install / uninstall, or get on the site of windows directly in general does not, and or does not at all.
    The change permissions 2.) does not work on files that you should be able to access in changing oxnership, permissions, etc.
    3.) Google chrome won't let me access my account of microsoft (or fact rarely) trying to access assistance. But internet Explorer doesn't?
    Randomly will increase from Internet 4.) a previous connection wired to wireless to a reboot.
    5.) my 8 'key' windows was only shown to me after that I have let Windows scan my machine online? Why? I paid for this... I restarted it and it says: service not available (it worked the third attempt which was 1-3 minutes after the initial analysis). Windows only showed my product ID not the key. I know that my victory. 8 was OEM when preinstalled I bought it new, but why didn't we files on it that had nothing to do with activation, appearing on dates for three weeks, or so before I bought it. What is the 'activation of the factory'?
    6 :) Windows Essentials does not hang for a long time, and the troubleshooterprogram of update simply does not work (I had to go to the website to try tp operate, the bluetooth functionality is not good that there is an error.
    7.) windows scan and repair gets stuck at 27% (Im not the only one with this problem).
    8.), avery MS Office 2013 Disappears so often and not easy to reload "we have encountered a problem.
     

    The computer manufacturer is responsible to see that it works properly with Windows 8. It says that it is a new computer I contact HP and make these problems their. If you don't get satisfactory results I turn and look elsewhere for a computer. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

  • executable file does not run subgroups

    Hi all!

    I have to write a labview program that runs several screws according to what the user wants. Thus, in order to test different screws if something goes wrong, that I built a managed event structure with a controller of the tab. Each tab has a secondary that points to a VI that I need control of the main panel, once the application is running. Everything goes perfectly until I build the executable when everything is loaded by hand, but I can't control anything! (I continue to press the buttons, but they do not activate anything). All the buttons of an event in my control structure (measures DC motor, Records control, stop measures, etc.)

    In the attached picture, there is an example with my VI which controls a power supply for a motor continuous. This is supposed to be controlled by the button 'Set of tension' and every time you click this button the user can simply update the voltage until they are satisfied. However, despite the fact that everything works in the main labview VI, the executable file does nothing!

    No idea what I would be missing / doing wrong? How are we supposed to use supPannels in order to work in an executable file?

    Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

    simm01

    The compiler does not include in this context, the way constants. You will need to 'always include' in construction, or replace them with a static ref VI, in which case they will automatically be included in the compilation.

  • Why my EXE files will not run?

    Somehow, my operating system does not know to run EXE files - he asks me what program I want to run with.
    Just like a unknown file.  If I go into the directory where it resides, right mouse click on it and say "run as administrator", they will be most of the time.
    I can't understand what happened, but I'm so sick of Vista and its issues...  A little help...

    That's not enough to head me in the right direction - thanks a lot!

    Problem will be probably related to your batch file.

    I suggest you start with a simple bat file.

    For example, to write something in a file.

    You can add your FDM.bat code?

    Hardware Apple JPEG should play very well, as long as you have the latest version of Apple QuickTime installed. CODEC is included, and generally, first can use it.

    In addition, I did not see if you're on a Mac or a PC.

    I have not heard about mfgrs camera. tweaking the JPEG, as they do with MJPEG (MotionJPEG), but if Pannyy did change things, then their specific version of the JPEG CODEC probably will install utility disc of your camera. With some disc utility, the CODEC is a separate installation with some, it install the camera driver, if there is one and with others, the necessary CODEC installs with the cataloging/editing utility program.

  • Stand-alone labview application (.exe file) does not run correctly

    Hi all

    I'm doing a labview application only to run on another computer (I never did this before).

    I went through the tools-> build application prompts and was able to build an exe file.

    the program is supposed to control a power meter and measures of power, then save them in a text file.

    When I run the exe, on the same computer, I compiled the exe, the program generates a text file to save data to, but he cannot communicate with the electricity meter.

    There are a few screws Sub and a dll file that are used to communicate with the electricity meter. Would it be possible that I am not say labview to correctly

    include these files when I create an executable?

    What are some common problems that arise when building stand alone applications that could be cause of my problems?

    And no one knows of any good tutorials on building applications stand alone in labview, other than the help files OR?

    Thanks for your help,

    Also, if you used the VISA, include the runtime with your Installer.

  • Why the control file does not work?

    Hello

    This is the first time that I will use SQL Loader with position.

    I started with a very simple file.

    The SAMPLE file. TXT contains:

    11111

    22222

    33333

    My table is:

    CREATE TABLE MY_TABLE

    (my_field varchar2 (5));

    And my control file is:

    DOWNLOAD THE DATA

    INFILE ' D:\USER\SAMPLE. TXT' "fix 5.

    BADFILE ' D:\USER\SAMPLE. BAD'

    DISCARDFILE ' D\USER\SAMPLE. DSC"

    IN THE TABLE "MY_TABLE".

    ADD

    (MY_FIELD POSITION (1:5) TANK)

    After launching the SQL Loader, that's what I have in my picture:

    MY_FIELD

    11111

    222

    223

    3333

    And if I try to open the fron TOAD table, for example, I see that for the second, I have a carriage return and 222 and the third, I have 22 a carriage return and 3

    Thanks in advance!

    This is because you use a fixed record format.

    In this case, the CR/LF characters are not separators Records and are included in the data.

    So first record is: 1 1 1 1 1

    2nd is: 2 2 2 \r \n

    3rd is: 2 2 \r \n 3

    etc.

    Just remove the clause of "fix." SQL * Loader will use \n or \r\n as the record terminator by default, depending on your platform (Windows apparently?)

    Hello ITGIRL17,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Configure your task under your administrator account.
    Then go to the folder with the batch file and ADD on control for the folder administrator permissions and each of the files in batches.
    If the batch files write data, then the target for the task should ALSO have all explicit permissions.
    Now try to run the Task Scheduler task.

    Also check the information from the following link and look specifically at Brian Vandemark Sommaire steps on 2 September.
