Can Compiled MacroSched Exe's support scheduling?
Does Macro Scheduler Pro version support the scheduling capabilities inside of a compiled exe? In other words, if I develop a script that should run every hour, compile the script into an EXE and distribute to a PC that does not have Macro Scheduler software---"Will the Script still execute every hour".

NO. those scheduling tools are not part of the compiled file. 
You will have to use other scheduling tools and treat the compiled script as any other executable file.
Many Windows systems already come with the basic Task Scheduler and/or AT, but I don't think all of them do. Perhaps someone else will detail what is available on each version?

Hi,
You could of course build the schedule into the script itself using a loop and the time commands but you would then have to have the EXE running all the time. It certainly would be much more efficient to use a dedicated scheduler such as the one that comes already with Windows.
