Automating a workflow with Python Nodes

Hi,
I’m trying to set up a workflow to run once a week using SchTasks in Windows. The workflow works fine from the desktop application, but when I try to run it as a scheduled task, it fails. I added -consoleLog -noexit to the task .bat file, and the error I am getting refers to the Python installation test - “Could not find python executable at the given location: python3.”
I have a number of python nodes, which all run fine when I run the workflow from the desktop application.
Do I need to add the path to python.exe somewhere to the task .bat file or is there something else I need to check/do?

Are you specify a preferences file in your .bat? If not, try exporting the preferences from your desktop application where you’ve configured your Python paths and then referencing that preferences file in your .bat

Hi,
No, I haven’t specified the preferences in the .bat file. What is the syntax to reference the preferences in the .bat file? I have exported the preferences as an .epf file. Thanks
