task schedule fails because pad.console.host.exe is missing

Posted on by lye168 9
I used task schedule to run a flow on power automate desktop and it worked fine until recently. I found out because the pad.console.host.exe is missing from my "C:\Program Files (x86)\Power Automate Desktop" folder. I am using version 2.51.227.24333.
 
Thanks,
 
Laura

    I did not have path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Power Automate Desktop" since I installed Power Automate as Store App, then I had to install msi to get that folder path.
    I m tired to find out why my command below never run my flow... really tired.. sorry :-)
     
    .\PAD.Console.Host.exe -f "MyFlowName"
