Solved Task Scheduler Headaches

I've written a simple console application in Visual Studio 2010 (VB.Net) that I want to schedule with the task scheduler (in Vista Business). Everything looks ok when I schedule it. However, it ALWAYS returns the run-status of "Failure".

What do I have to do to get my application to run in the task scheduler?

TIA,
Owen

Do you have a password assigned to the Task Scheduler app?
If not, the Task Scheduler will fail every time.

This was an issue with XP - but I believe that it's carried over into Vista (although I can't find reference to it).

Yes, I have a password assigned.

I did get it working. The problem was that I was just creating the task in whatever window was open when Task Scheduler started. After I created a new folder under "Task Scheduler Library", everything worked...
