Haven't used pycron, but it sounds as if the crontab.txt file is under 
Program Files (or some other system folder), if you can move it to 
another folder e.g. a commonapp/pycron then you will not have the 
virtualization problem (this is something you will have to get away from 
as sooner or later the virtualization will be off by default and then 
maybe even go away).
