The Scheduled Tasks folder is only special because of a shell extension (much like the Temporary Internet Files or Downloaded Program Files folders). The underlying data is just a bunch of .job files in a directory (typically %SystemRoot%\Tasks). The one issue you may encounter is that Vista introduced an overhauled job file. I can't say whether the task scheduler in Vista is backwards compatible or not. You might be better off creating (begging for?) a task scheduler extension to WiX that use the Task Scheduler COM interfaces to do their work (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa383614(VS.85).aspx).
