VBScript Task scheduler not working?

Question

I am trying to schedule a VBscript using windows task scheduler. It doesn't require any user interaction. It does open a qlikview application file and download some reports but no user interaction is needed.

It works fine when I run it manually, but the problem when I try to run it using task scheduler the qlikview application is not getting opened. But a process seems to be running in the background (I checked task manager).

I have scheduled a task like this :

Start a Program : C:\Windows\System32\CScript.exe
Arguments: C:\Script_Location\Script.vbs

I have tried creating batch file and scheduling that. It didn't work out

Any idea how to fix this?

I'm guessing that the QlikView launched by the VbScript is looking for some user interaction, possibly licensing or database connection configuration. Check the Windows Event Application log for application pop-ups to see any pop-up messages the qv.exe may have displayed.
