Scheduling Tasks
Does anyone know how to automatically schedule a task to run daily at a given time?

With an extension DLL of course :D

Just wondering if someone has already done task scheduling from NSIS.

Thanks

i find this version of scheduling the easyest:


 nsExec::ExecToStack `"at1.job" 9:00 /every:monday,tuesday,wednesday,thursday,friday,saturday,sunday "$INSTDIR\ExecuteMe.exe"`

######if you want to rename the task(that is usually at.exe)
######include the following lines in your script as well

 
  Sleep 1000
 exch
 Pop $0
 strcpy $1 $0 10 30
 Push $1
 Call TrimNewlines ;To cut the new line from the end of task name(don't forget to include function TrimNewlines
 Pop $1
 strcpy $2 "New name for the task"
  Rename /REBOOTOK $WINDIR\Tasks\At$1.job $WINDIR\Tasks\$2.job
