Task scheduler hourly interval

[BINUTB]

Hi

Created setup file for assigning some tasks in windows task scheduler using Install shield SYSTEM CONFIGURATION -> Scheduled Task.

Schedule type – Daily

Start time – 01:00

I wish to repeat the task every four hours in a day.

Please advise how to set the above requirement.

Install shield version used- InstallShield2019 R2 Premier Edition with Virtualization pack (stand-alone product)
Project type – Basic MSI

Thanks and regards

Hi Binnu,

 First set the  Schedule type to Daily, then need to use the field interval, based on this the task will execute, if you set 2, then the task will run on every 2 hour,
