C# – Windows Server Task Scheduler needs files to be in System32 folder

cscheduled-taskswindows-server-2008

I have made a C# console application which needs 2 config files for booting.
When I run it from cmd window it runs fine-finds the 2 config files(which are placed within the exe produced directory).

However,when using the Windows server task scheduler i get an excpetion –
" Could not find file 'C:\Windows\system32\field.config' "

I tried to use a bat file for the task but same issue occurs-task scheduler tries to find the files in System32 direcory.

Placing the two config files within System32 direcory is a workaround but is there any other way?
Googled for similar issues but no information at all.
Any help is mutch appriciated.

I know this is old but figured I'd put my finding here incase anyone stumbles on this.

On Properties>Action, it seems to be the "Start in (optional)" field on the action edit screen where you type the directory you want the working directory to be located.
