Install failed at Attempting to get task info for MCC Install Scheduled Task
Hi,
This step of the MCC installer fails when the script cannot read or create the scheduled task “MCC Install Scheduled Task”. On a fresh Windows Server 2025 build, the most common causes are:
✔️ 1. Task Scheduler service not fully initialized
Right after enabling Hyper‑V or WSL, the Task Scheduler service may not be ready until after a reboot. Make sure you reboot after each role/feature installation before running the MCC script.
✔️ 2. Script not running with elevated rights
The installer must be executed from an elevated PowerShell session. If not, the scheduled task query fails with this exact symptom.
✔️ 3. Corrupted or partial first run
Since the first attempt failed, the script may have created a partial task entry. Check and remove it if present:
Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName "MCC Install Scheduled Task" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinueIf it exists, delete it:
Unregister-ScheduledTask -TaskName "MCC Install Scheduled Task" -Confirm:$falseThen rerun the installer.
✔️ 4. Logs
If you can share the relevant part of the log (the section around the scheduled task step), I can help pinpoint the exact failure.
Let me know what you find after checking these points.

- Ran command and got no result. I guess it isn't there? When I reran the installer, it failed differently.
- I tried to attach logs on original post but didn't like it. Hopefully this link works. MCC logs includes primary run and secondary attempt.
Thanks for the help.
