Have you launched it manually before to create the log?

The program stores the log file in the current working directory. This is something like system32, sysWOW64, or %userprofile% if you let Task Scheduler launch the program. Best solution (imo) is to specify the working directory manually within Task Scheduler - and it will respect it, as though you just double-clicked the program to launch it at its location (in which case it sets the working directory to the .exe's location on disk).

Modify the task -> Actions -> Edit -> "Start in (optional):"
Set this to the program's directory's path (or wherever you'd like the log file to be saved). No quotation marks. Spaces are allowed.

Alternatively, the source could be modified to be more strict about where it saves the log file. The current solution allows a bit more flexibility, however.
