Thanks for the suggestion, but doing that caused the failure of schtasks With 1631 error. Thanks for the " suggestion.
But fixing the backslash in square brackets fixed the issue. <CustomAction Id="CleanupTaskInstall" Directory="CompDir" Return="asyncNoWait" ExeCommand=' "schtasks.exe" /Create /RU "[SQLUSERNAME]" /rp [SQLPASSWORD] /SC [CLEANUPFREQUENCY] /ST 01:00:00 /TN "DBCLEANUPTASK" "[\\]"[#CLEANUP_EXE][\\]""' - chandra -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 3:32 AM To: Chandra Rentachintala Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: How to put '\"' in the customaction as it is ? Hi You can use " as below.

To: <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I am adding a scheduled task thru the installer like this. <CustomAction Id="CleanupTaskInstall" Directory="CompDir" Return="asyncNoWait" ExeCommand=' "schtasks.exe" /Create /RU "[SQLUSERNAME]" /rp [SQLPASSWORD] /SC [CLEANUPFREQUENCY] /ST 01:00:00 /TN "DBCLEANUPTASK" /TR "[#CLEANUP_EXE]" ' /> and it works fine in adding scheduled task, but not starting due to schtasks error. I found out from the support site http://support.microsoft.com/?KBID=823093 that I need to put "\" around the executable path to make it work. I verified this using command line and it works fine. I want to put this in WIX code, but ICE is complaining that it is not the correct format. Is there a way I can escape this sequence and achieve " \"[#CLEANUP_EXE]\" " from "[#CLEANUP_EXE]".
