Adding a Scheduled Task
        InstallShield 2019
        
        Project • This information applies to the following project types:
        
        
        
        
        
        
        Note • Each scheduled task must be associated with a component in your project. Therefore, before you can add a scheduled task, your project must have at least one component. If no components exist when you are adding a scheduled task, the Create a New Component dialog box is displayed, enabling you to create a component.
        To add a scheduled task to your project:
        
            
            
            
            
                 | 
                1. 
                 | 
                In the View List under System Configuration, click Scheduled Tasks. | 
            
        
        
            
            
            
            
                 | 
                2. 
                 | 
                Right-click the Scheduled Tasks explorer and then click Add Scheduled Task. InstallShield adds a new task with a default name. | 
            
        
        
            
            
            
            
                 | 
                3. 
                 | 
                Enter a new name, or right-click it later and click Rename to give it a new name. | 
            
        
        The name is not displayed at run time; it is an internal name that is used to differentiate between various scheduled tasks in your project.
