I think the problem is that you are not specifying the full path to schtasks.
I do something similar for a non-public application in the following way: <!-- Embed a copy of schtasks --> <Binary Id="schtasks" SourceFile="$(var.ProjectDir)\Support\schtasks.exe" /> <CustomAction Id="CreateMaintenanceTask" BinaryKey="schtasks" ExeCommand="/create /tn "My Task" /tr "\"[#My Batch File.bat]\"" /sc DAILY /st 02:00:00 /ru System" Execute="deferred" Return="check" Impersonate="no" /> I should point out that redistributing schtasks.exe this way is probably against a licence agreement. Also, be aware that the command line for schtasks is localised to this will only work on the English version of Windows.
