Unable to Complete KB fix for Deleted Scheduled Tasks Trying to Run
I have a Win7x64 Home Premium machine, with Acronis True Image Home 2010, build 7,154. While doing some testing, I created two scheduled tasks; although I subsequently deleted the tasks, TI continued to try running them. Per the KB article (http://forum.acronis.com/forum/7034#comment-22246), I downloaded the Acronis utility schedmgr.exe. Opening the command prompt in the folder, I ran the commands
schedmgr task zap
schedmgr service stop
schedmgr service uninstall
when I got to schedmgr service install, it stated it could not as the service was scheduled to be uninstalled. I rebooted and then was able to run schedmgr service install. When I tried to run schedmgr service start, I received the following error:
Error 2: The system can not find the file specified.
When I go under services, the Acronis Task Scheduler service is listed as auto start but is not started. When I try to start it manually it states it cannot file the file.
I then tried running the install.bat from scheduler_385.zip. I have rebooted the machine, but the service still will not start.
If I understand the bat file correctly (and reading bat files is not my forte ), the following should be created:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\Schedule2\schedhlp.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\Schedule2\schedul2.exe
If so, they are not being created. If that is all that is required, I can do this manually. I have only hesitated because one of the files in scheduler_385.zip is called schedul2_a64.exe. Aside from the initial set svc64name=schedul2_a64.exe, I don't see that this file is called by the bat file. As I do have a 64-bit system, I am hesitant to proceed.
If there is a log file that I should be attaching, please let me know.
TIA for all assistance,

Will do (after I image my system ). Do I need to install the initial file and then run the 160 update, or is the update the complete app?
Many thanks,

I don't know about 2010, unfortunately. The 2011 builds are independant builds.

Well, duh!, if the scheduler service is not running, it is impossible to run TI, even manually. In any event, when I tried running Add/Remove programs, nothing happened. I ended up using the uninstaller function in CCleaner. Did a reboot, ran CCleaner to clean up any left over registry entries. I then rebooted yet again. Ran the install of the original install file. Rebooted. Did a back up. Rebooted. Ran the latest build update (7,160). Rebooted. Did a backup.
This morning I checked under the Tasks & Logs section: Acronis is no longer trying to run the two test scheduled backups I had created.
Success achieved!
Thank you Pat for your help. We can now close this ticket as resolved.
Have a great weekend.
