Hello?
Looks like I'm the first one here.
Hope somebody can help with this.
I'm having trouble getting iSiloXC to work as a scheduled (i.e. "at") job on Windows 2000.
I installed iSiloX and was able to create a .pdb file and save the settings to an ixl file (c:\mySilo.ixl)
I then created a command string: "c:\Program Files\iSilo\iSiloXC\iSiloXC.exe" -x "c:\mySilo.ixl"

I have been able to submit this command and get a successful result from the Command Prompt window but when I try to schedule it using "at" I get no result. The system seems to be doing some work when the job kicks off but no .pdb file is created.
Likewise I get no result if I submit the command from Start->Run... or put the command in a .bat file and schedule with at (though the .bat does succeed when submitted at the Command Prompt)

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I'm using
"C:\Program Files\iSilo\iSiloXC\iSiloXC.exe" -x "D:\Palm\ixl\iSilo Daily.ixl"
which chugs away right on schedule, but no PDB files are generated (that I can find).
If I load the ixl file into ISiloX and convert, then the PDB files are generated.
Note that my ixl file destinations are all an External Memory Card.

Assuming you have installed iSiloX, it is best to place iSiloXC.exe in the same directory so that it has HotSync(R) functionality. Without the supporting files included in the installation of iSiloX, iSiloXC can not queue converted documents for installation during HotSync(R).

So try placing iSiloXC.exe in "C:\Program Files\iSilo\iSiloX\" rather than in "C:\Program Files\iSilo\iSiloXC\".

That solved the problem. Thanks.
