The request is therefore to trick WinZip into writing a fake scheduled task so that it does not crash during installation in the standard/application compartment sandbox... at least that is how I understand the request.

Despite the error, the installation was successfully completed.

MsiInstallerExemptions=y
FakeAdminRights=y

The request is therefore to trick WinZip into writing a fake scheduled task so that it does not crash during installation in the standard/application compartment sandbox... at least that is how I understand the request.

Any implementation would be good.

so what should I do about this ?

[DavidXanatos]

I'm not sure how easy would it be to allow fake task scheduler requests to be saved, we could turn this into a feature request. as is such errors can be safely ignored.
