    Thanks Liam, found the problem.  I was pointing to SyncToy.exe and needed to point to SyncToyCmd.exe.  Seems to run fine now.

    Liam - I experienced a similar problem with SynchToy not running as a scheduled task, and others may experience the same problem.  When I upgraded from the Beta version I forgot to change the address from SynchToy Beta 2.0 to SynchToy 2.0 in the Scheduled Task address.  A rookie oversight, but one that's easy to make.  Great product, keep up the good work. - Dave

    Can you send us the exact command line that you are using?  Are you certain that it is finding the 2.0 SyncToyCmd.exe?  Also, if you go to the SyncToy directory and run this command (outside of your scheduled task) does it work?

    Hi Liam, i'm still running on 32bit system. The 32 bit version software is having the same issue. I've downloaded the most up-to-date software. The problem is still there. Thanks in advance.

    I found the problem, that i wasn't executing the CMD software, i was running the GUI software :P
