Alarm++ fulfills your reminder and scheduling needs. Create multiple alarms
to:
*remind you of events -- meetings, birthdays, deadlines, TV shows
*visit web pages -- read the news every morning or check your stocks weekly
*send e-mail to your pager -- get reminders anywhere
*send messages over the network -- help others remember
*use speech and animation -- have animated characters talk and gesture
*execute scripts and batch files -- for even more complex tasks
*open folders in Explorer -- check a LAN server folder every month
*send e-mail (with or without attachments) -- send reminders to a group orfiles to someone on certain dates
*play sounds or music -- wake up in the morning to your favorite CD
*run applications -- begin writing a status report every Friday morning orbackup every night
*Each alarm can repeat at many different intervals, such as every fewminutes, hours, days, months, or years. They can repeat any number of times,from once to forever or until a specific date. Alarms can also be restrictedto specific weekdays, weeks, months, weeks of the month, and time ranges.
You can set alarms for every Tuesday, every other week, Friday the 13th, the second Thursday of every third month, etc. Events can be ignored if they
occur a specific number of minutes, hours, or days in the past.
You can create templates for creating new alarms. For example, have a "Meeting" template, a "Grocery store on the way home" template, and an "Important Birthday" template.
This greatly simplifies entering values for the types of alarms that you create often.
Alarm++ has a well-designed and easy-to-use interface. It stays unobtrusively in your system tray or can be minimized on your taskbar. The
autosave feature means that you never have to worry about losing your alarms to a Windows system crash.
Alarm++ is powerful, flexible, easy to use, and simple to install.

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.]

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.
