RegisterTaskDefinition API behaves differently in console and MFC dialog based application.

C++

Hi All,

I have a c++ application. From which i wants to communicate to Windows task scheduler to create a task. So i just wrote c++ console application( and the code i got from MSDN()[^]). the code snippet is shown below.

//  Save the task in the root folder.
 IRegisteredTask *pRegisteredTask = NULL;
 hr = pRootFolder->RegisterTaskDefinition(
         _bstr_t( wszTaskName ),
         pTask,
         TASK_CREATE_OR_UPDATE,
         _variant_t(),
         _variant_t(),
         TASK_LOGON_INTERACTIVE_TOKEN,
         _variant_t(L""),
         &pRegisteredTask);
 if( FAILED(hr) )
 {
    // printf("\nError saving the Task : %x", hr );
     pRootFolder->Release();
     pTask->Release();
     CoUninitialize();
     return 1;
 }

which is working well in console application. But when i used the same code in MFC dialog based application the same API return an error "The task XML is missing a required element or attribute". Can anyone answer the behavior difference?
