Using VV 3.0 build 3003 under Win10 Pro. I'm trying to schedule (using VVScheduler) a simple folder backup to run nightly. It is getting a result of "the system cannot find the file specified". No log file is created.

(I have an image of the result but I gather there's no way to link it here.)

It looks fine to me in Windows Task Scheduler, though I'm no expert there:

c:\program files\viceversa pro 2\schedstub.exe "c:\users\edward reid\viceversa profiles\backup ge myplaces.fsf" /dialogautoexec

and the file is certainly there. (I had to retype the above, but then I copied the quote path from my typing, pasted it into Command Prompt, and VV opened with the profile.)

My normal user account 'Edward Reid' is not admin. When I go to VVScheduler, I enter the admin password. Later I enter the non-admin password. The profile and folders are under my non-admin account. The non-admin account remains logged on 24x7. None of that should matter AFAIK except for the profile being accessible when the task starts.

Would VVLauncher or VVEngine be more reliable than VVScheduler? Other ideas?

But as I say, it appears to be set up properly in Task Scheduler, so I don't understand what file is not found.

Thanks,

Edward

Hello,

c:\program files\viceversa pro 2\schedstub.exe

This looks wrong to me as it is the old version 2.

Could you please delete the task and recreate?

VVEngine is a better scheduler that VVScheduler and it does offer additional functionality: https://www.tgrmn.com/web/vvengine/vvengine.htm

thanks

Thanks. Recreating the task resolved it. Likely it has something to do with files I copied from my old computer to the new one, but it's not worth investigating further. All is well.

Edward
