Plesk scheduler problems

I've got a binary wget.exe that I want to call using the Plesk scheduler. Except the problem is no matter where I put it and set its permissions to I get an accessed denied error.

If I log onto windows and change the task manually to remove --user="" parameter then I can run the executable fine.
The problem with this being I can't schedule tasks in the plesk control panel without logging in to fix them.

Is there something I am missing, I'm not sure how exactly I need to set its permissions and where I should put the executable for it to be able to run fine from any user account.
 
So I decided to forget about using wget and reverted to calling a .vbs file.

Except I am still getting permission errors in the event log:

Unable to start (/c ""c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe" "): (5) Access is denied. at RaiseException in C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel32.dll

Not sure exactly what needs to be done, but I can't call any executables using the Plesk scheduler currently - all i get is accessed denied errors.
