Inno Setup, spaces and double quotes in [Run]

Question

I am trying to schedule a task on Windows, and unfortunately it does not work! The task is created, but not correctly.

When I look through the task parameters, it says:

PROGRAM: C:\Program
ARGUMENTS: Files(x86)\AppName\executable.exe

This is how I continue:

[Run]
Filename: "schtasks.exe"; Parameters: "/create /tn TaskName /sc MINUTE /mo 10 /tr ""{app}\{#MyAppExeName}""";

And I do not know why this does not work, double quotes should fix the problem of "spaces"

Any ideas?
