RE: Anyone know a utility that triggers an action ...?

You can also think of a VB script with "sleep" in a loop. Start it minimised or as service at computer startup.

  The  "AT" command perhaps can be run during your installation. One issue may arise that scheduler needs administrative rights. During installation of your software most probably administrative rights will anyway be required. So why not during installation use the windows AT command? I haven't done it myself - in fact few years back I tried for about an hour and gave up on this "AT" way of scheduling and went stright to the scheduler GUI...however it is worth a try in my opinion.

    Windows scheduler is certainly an option. But I googled a bit on how the schedules are stored in Windows, as our solution needs to be deployed with minimum effort on individual client PCs, and what I have found here so far is a bit like a mine field. So I would prefer a utility which can ideally be installed as a service and can read its parameters from a config file. 

    A service that runs every x minutes instead of monitoring is also possible of course. I like the idea with dir and error l evel, so I need a way to run this batch file every n minutes with as automated installation as possible.
