Check for scheduled task example for inno setup

About:

When searching the best way to check for a scheduled task in google search with inno setup there was no real information or examples could be found so i am sharing my code, Hopefully this example will help someone.

Example Usage:

Simply place the code example in the examples folder of inno setup installation directory.

How to traverse tasks:

• If the task has no folder just use the task name 'TASKNAME'
• If the task is in a folder use the folder name then backslash task name 'FOLDER\TASKNAME'

Example check for a task that has no folder:

	if (TaskExist('TASKNAME')) then
		begin
			msgbox('Your task was found!', mbInformation, MB_OK)
	end

Example check for a task that has a folder:

	if (TaskExist('FOLDER\TASKNAME')) then
		begin
			msgbox('Your task was found!', mbInformation, MB_OK)
	end

Example check for a task that has multiple folders:

	if (TaskExist('FOLDER\FOLDER\FOLDER\TASKNAME')) then
		begin
			msgbox('Your task was found!', mbInformation, MB_OK)
	end

Dynamic task names:

You can use ExpandConstant() in this field.

Example check for a task using ExpandConstant():

	if (TaskExist(ExpandConstant ('{#MyAppName}'))) then
		begin
			msgbox('Your task was found!', mbInformation, MB_OK)
	end

Example check for a task using multiple values in the ExpandConstant() field:

	if (TaskExist(ExpandConstant ('{#MyAppName}{#MyUserInput}'))) then
		begin
			msgbox('Your task was found!', mbInformation, MB_OK)
	end
