why windows 7 task scheduler task fails with error 2147942667

Question

I am facing a strange problem. I have scheduled a task to lauch a batch file. When I run the task with option Run only when user is logged on everything works fine.

Answer 1

For me, this was due to the user PATH environment variable, which didn't seem to work even though the user was correct, so I needed to put the entire executable path into the program field.
