Batch file is not running through Windows 7 Task Scheduler

I have a batch file that executes a php script which fetches files(pdfs) from the backend and saves locally. I have tried executing the batch file through command prompt and it works perfectly.

But when I setup a Windows Task Scheduler to run this batch, it is not working. The command prompt window pop ups and displays alot of unreadable characters and hangs there.

I have also chosen the option for the bat to run with highest privileges but no difference.

Any idea what's wrong?

maybe that if you provide more infos you will have more responses ... what is in your batch ? how do you call it in the scheduler? what is the output etc. – Loïc MICHEL
When you call your batch file from the task scheduler, do you call it as cmd /c "path\to\batch.bat" or just as "path\to\batch.bat"? Does calling it the other way make any difference? – rojo

My mistake. Managed to solve it. The path to php was not set properly.

Now it is fine.
