Code:
"S:\Applications\Zygor Guides Updater\Zygor Guides Updater.exe" -autoupdate
Or putting that line right into Task Scheduler to run weekly.
Do you think either would work?
When I attempt to choose the shortcut only it says: Zygor Guides Updater
Path does not exist.
Check the path and try again.
Then I run the shortcut & it is okay works no problems. |
Hi there!
What works for me is:
1). Open Task Scheduler, and click the "Create Basic Task..." button.
2). Fill out the name of the task. Press "Next" after.
3). Select when you want the task to start (in this case weekly). Press "Next" after.
4). Select what days, etc. You want it to run. Press "Next" after.
5). Now you should be at the "Action" step. Just select "Start a program", and then press "Next".
6). Press the "Browse..." button and navigate to the updater's exe, select it, then press "Open".
In the "Add arguments" field type:
.
The "Start in" field is also important, otherwise the updater will not work correctly.
So for the "Start in" field, you have to fill in the path the exe is in, not to the exe file itself. And the path shouldn't be in double quotes.
7). Done, now press the "Next" button, and then "Finish".
To make sure the task works properly, run it just to make sure.
Hope that helps.
If you still have any issues with it, just make a post again :-)
