Hello,
the task_exists() always seems to return false. If I try to use delete_task() directly, I get the following error: KeyError: "GoogleUpdateTaskMachineCore doesn't exist".
Currently, I'm using run_notfatal to delete the scheduled task:
run_notfatal('schtasks /Delete /TN GoogleUpdateTaskMachineCore /F').
The tis-flashplayer package attempts to delete the Adobe Flash Player Updater with these functions, and it is indeed not being deleted from the machines.
[SOLVED] Problem with task_exists and delete_task

Hello,
these two functions are based on the Windows ITaskScheduler API V1.0.
Microsoft recommends version 2.0 here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... s.85).aspx
I think that tasks created with the new interface are not visible to version 1.0 of the interface.
Therefore, the setuphelpers functions are obsolete...

Hello Floflobel,
Sincerely,
Denis
If this is a blocking issue for you, you can submit a patch or pay a developer to do it. For tracking this bug, I created an entry on Roundup (https://roundup.tranquil.it/wapt/issue956With a bit of luck, it should be able to fit into the next release 1.6.1, otherwise it will be in the one after that.
Sincerely,
Denis
