Installing Task Scheduler

Rackem4me — Mon, 10 May 2004 09:54:30 GMT

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a way to install Task Scheduler on NT4 and/or W2K WITHOUT having to install IE over again? You'd think in this day and age, you could install it seperately.
Thanks.

Thanks, but I've looked at this before and from what I can tell, this is only for scheduling tasks via VB, and does not install the actual scheduler.

if i remember correctly, Task scheduler was part of the NT4 desktop enhancements package from IE4.

this document seems to confirm that:

Thanks for all the feedback. All this sort of confirms that there is not a stand alone install of Task Scheduler and you must work withing IE to install it.
