Hi I am struggling to run a 32 bit app from 64 bit Windows Server 2012. When I set it up in task scheduler it never runs. Any suggestions to the following? Thanks.

If the Application (which you are trying to schedule) is 32-bit then try launching it from the 32-bit CLI, i.e. if you want to (in this case) run C:\Program Files (x86)\Strate\CDReportInstall\CDReportExtracts.exe, tell Task Scheduler to launch:
%systemroot%\Syswow64\cmd.exe /C "C:\Program Files (x86)\Strate\CDReportInstall\CDReportExtracts.exe"
This forces it to launch from the 32-bit command-prompt and hence with 32-bit emulation.


C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c “C:\Program Files (x86)\Strate\CDReportInstall\CDReportExtracts.exe”

When I run the above argument it says file name, directory or label syntax is incorrect.
