Windows 10: Windows Script Host for BackgroundTaskHost.vbs error missing Pathping.exe file

I have an error box saying

Windows Script Host Title or error box

Script:
C:\Users\'My Username'\backgroundTaskHost\BackgroundTaskHost.vbs
Line: 3
Char: 1
Error: The system cannot find the file specified
Code : 80070002
Source Nul


I found the background task host file

when I opened the Background Task Host .VBS file the test was

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject"WScript.Shell"
WScript.Sleep11223
WshShell.Run """C:\Users\chris\backgroundTaskHost\PATHPING.exe"""

This to me indicates there should be a pathpink.exe file


Anyone know about Pathping.exe?

why is it not there? What removed it?

I this virus activity?

How do I fix and replace it?


I have Windows 10

:)

Running a VB Script File Using Windows 10 Task Scheduler

You can invoke VB scripts through the Task Scheduler, same as batch files or .exe files. What problem do you actually have? What is the script you run? Is it supposed to be interactive?

There is little difference between cscript.exe and wscript.exe. When you run cscript.exe you will open a black Command Processor window (cmd.exe). With wscript.exe you won't. Furthermore, the instruction wscript.echo will do different things:

• Under cscript.exe: Write a line of text in the Command Processor window.
• Under wscript.exe: Generate message box.

This difference is important for scripts being invoked by the Task Scheduler.
