It's taken me 3 hours to figure out that the scheduled task command

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -file .....

No longer works as intended. Although it allows the powershell script and by extension ninite pro to run, something is getting blocked.

If I run the ninite command on the command line it works fine. If I run the powershell command on the command line, the script runs ninite runs but then it's unable to find the applications.

Edit: I've worked out that powershell doesn't like the brackets in the line

Set-Variable APPS -option constant -value 'Chrome Flash "Flash (PPAPI)" "7-Zip" Irfanview "Notepad++" Audacity "Visual Studio Code" Blender Krita GIMP "Reader DC" "Paint.net" "Google Earth" Inkscape "Flash (IE)"'

I haven't worked out how to fix it yet.

Edit2: Made enquiries and the string is correct. Apparently it all goes wrong when powershell inserts the string in the execute command....

EDIT3: It works if you don't have a separate apps variable. I guess I can manage without that. I was planning to rewrite the script to deliver different apps to different devices. It's going to be a less efficient script.
