Creating an hourly Scheduled Task.
I have an InstallScript MSI project and I had created Scheduled Tasks. One of the tasks I need to modify this to be a recurring task to run ever hour. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? As the Scheduled Task node located under the System Configuration --> Scheduled Tasks only has the daily schedule type as the minimum interval you can create.

An hourly scheduled task can be configured through the Advanced settings that is available in the Windows Task Scheduler, but InstallShield currently doesn't support it. Therefore, I file the enhancement work order #IOJ-1699991 to take into consideration for a future release.
Thank you for your feedback!

Thank you very much for the enhancement request as this will help in the future but, how do I accomplish this now? I understand I cannot use the current nodes however, is there a method that will accomplish what I need to do?

To get it workaround, you can create your own custom action that will manage your scheduled tasks. See this post as an example on how a scheduled task can be created with the Schtasks.exe command.
