Title: Registry Backup 2.1.0 - clarification of running as a scheduled task-Solved!
Post by: best1syn2oil on February 02, 2015, 05:15:25 pm

Hi,

    I love the idea of backing up the registry at system startup once a day, but when I configure it to run with task scheduler, it opens but has not done anything.  I am unclear about how to set it to run silently, as I have no experience with Task Scheduler.  I am still using XP Home SP3 at the moment.

This is what I get when attempting to Schedule...

I tried and tested on my XP in vmware and it created the schedule without any error. The program uses the pcwintech_tasksch.dll file that is in the program folder.

One thing with that dll and xp though is I only tested it on 32 bit XP (Very little people used 64 bit xp) Is your XP 32 bit? I ask because I am trying to fig out why you are getting that error.

You can always create your own task schedule and then when you have it run the program just use /silent with it :wink:

Shane, I have the 32 bit version.  I had set up the task manually, and the program opens but has not done a backup...not a big deal as I can just do a manual for the day.  Perhaps I did not have the path to the program correct.  If I browse for the exe and add the /silent at the end it should work?

Correct, should be like this as an example

"C:\Program Files\Tweaking.com\Registry Backup\TweakingRegistryBackup.exe" /silent

Also when I installed the program fresh I did get the same error as you did, there must be a file missing the dll needs, I will look into that and get it fixed and put out a new version :-)

Ok found the problem, looks like I had the wrong build of the dll in the setup, so here is the dll, just extract the file and replace the one in the program folder with it and it should work for you :-)
