Alarm++

Alarm++
Create multiple alarms that repeat at simple to complex intervals. An alarm can remind you of events, visit web sites, send e-mail, play sounds, or run applications. A well-designed interface makes Alarm++ flexible and easy-to-use.

I needed an easy to use program for a temporary alarm event and I dowloaded Alarm++ since this seemed to do the trick. Firstly, I have to say that I wasn't impressed with the installation. I'm a quite advanced user and never have I been so confused about an installation before. Just seeing that self-extracting window with all the options and instructions, had me almost close it down in frustration. This is not user friendly and I'd hate to see a beginner having to go through that procedure. The installation wouldn't start after the extraction either, according to the error message. But I wanted to try the program so I extracted the files using WinZip instead and then I could continue the installation. Isn't there an easier to use self-extractor, if now that has to be included? Just my opinion. Thanks.

Marcus, I'm not sure what version of Alarm++ you downloaded, but it sounds as if you got an old self-extractor build. Alarm++ used Microsoft Installer for a while, but as of Alarm++ 6.10, it uses an even better (easier-to-use) installer. I think you'll be pleased with the improvements. [Please note that this is not an "opinion" of the product, nor is it "self-serving"--it's merely a clarification of a previously-posted comment.]
