freely redistributable version of schtasks.exe for XP Home?

[bennett]

Is there a version of schtasks.exe, or a third-party equivalent, that
can be freely redistributed on XP Home? I have a script that I want to
distribute to users and the script needs to schedule a task. I had it
doing this by running schtasks before finding out that this utility
doesn't exist on XP Home. I don't want to make the users download a
third-party program before running our script, so I'm trying to find
something that can be bundled with our script.

I know about at.exe but I can't figure out how to make at.exe do basic
things like schedule a task to run once per hour. It looks like the
most often it can schedule something is to run once per day.

Not tried it, but this looks promising
