Problem with scheduled task import

[j.zamiska]

Hi,

I build project (attached) and found, that imported scheduled task missing (xml also attached) "Event query subscription" when its installed.

Imported "Event query subscription" from XML look like:
<QueryList><Query Id="0" Path="Security"><Select Path="Security">*[System[Provider[@Name='Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing'] and EventID=6416]]</Select></Query></QueryList>

Regarding this article (https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user- ... -task.html) it should be like this:
<QueryList>
<Query Id="0" Path="Security">
<Select Path="Security">*[\[]System[\[]Provider[\[]@Name='Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing'[\]] and (EventID=6416)[\]][\]]</Select>
</Query>
</QueryList>

When I enter manually in this form, scheduled task have custom trigger and using exact code.

So, I can tell that "Import existing task" in Scheduled tasks section is not working properly.

Can you confirm that is a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Hello Jan,

I apologize for the delayed reply.

Indeed this seems to be a limitation of our scheduled task import feature. It seems we do not automatically escape the special formatted chars. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will try to fix this in a future version of Advanced Installer and update this thread as soon as the fix is available.

Until then, as you already found you should manually escape the square bracket chars.

All the best,
Daniel
