Is there a way to modify a bat, cmd, or even a vbs file without having to rerun the software wizard just for a small change in the script? Maybe upload the revised file for the existing task?

If a file that you are downloading changes at all, then you will need to change the sha1 of the file. If you remove the sha1 check, then you can change the file on the server (or wherever you host it from) without re-running the script.

Is it a large bat/cmd/vbs file? If not, you should be able to include the contents of the file in the task with this command:

createfile until ENDOFFILE <Your script contents here> ENDOFFILE copy __createfile yourfilenameandextension

This is how I include most of my bat/vbs files in my tasks, so that they’re very easy to update.
