How to trigger a C# application at a certain time?

Question

I have a C# programm currently implemented as a Windows Forms application. It can easily be rewritten to a console application.

This application fetches data from a certain source and writes it to SQL tables. I also have a machine with Windows Server 2008 R2 on it.

I wonder would it be possible to somehow deploy my application on the abovementioned machine in a way that would trigger the execution of my programm on a certain weekday at a certain time, every week?

One approach would to be write a Window Service instead, upon startup you can register a timer, or event to fire at a particular time to do your processing.
