Bat file in windows Task Scheduler

stabben23 — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi,

I run a batfile from Windows Task Scheduler, this is how my bat file looks like: "C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe"/r "C:\Qlik\LoadQVD\CreateQVD.qvw" the /r says it will reload/save/close. First time it works but it leaves the Qv.exe open.

Next time it fails "because instance of the same task is already running"

If I kill the Qv.exe process and run task, it works again, but why does not the batfile close the program qv.exe after the reload?

Have you checked the qvw log to make sure the script is ending?

Do you have the "close when finished" box checked in your load progress window? If not, this window will keep your process from closing.
