Shutdown Timer I Made

Raumarik · 29 Jul 2010 at 22:31

Just curious is there a standalone client option? I personally love utils that don't require to be installed and are portable - this is something that'd be extremely useful if it could be portable like that

My fav utils (startup control panel / spacesniffer) have always been no-installs to work

Keep up the good work mate it looks fab.

Hi,

Yes the application is available as a portable version from day one.

The current beta you see a few posts above is portable to run right now since I don't want Beta software installed.

But I can guarantee that the Final version of 3.0 will be portable.

Hi,

Yeah I've got feedback about that one, it'll be fixed in the next version

As for version 3.1, it may be releasing soon. Here's a little taster.

sandeep · 23 Sep 2010 at 18:52

Any problems or anything with this so I can get it fixed in the next version?

Let me know.
Thanks

Hi,

What version is this 3.1 beta? or the 3.0 if it's 3.0 can you download the 3.1 Beta and see if the problem happens again?

UberTiger · 29 Dec 2010 at 21:44

It's the 3.1 beta from post 152. Loads the main screen then Windows returns the stop responding error with the info in my previous post.
It seems to have a mac folder included (that just because you use a mac?) I go to the x86 folder and run the Shutdown Timer.exe file.

It was just packaged on my mac. the gay things the mac os decides to leave behind really does bug me!

I've just given it a try on two 32 bit systems and also on a clean install virtual machine and seems to work fine.

Does a config.ini file get created? If not just download this one and place it in the same directory as Shutdown Timer.exe
http://sinvise.net/debug/config.ini

Also make sure there is a file called portable in the same folder as the SHutdown Timer.exe

UberTiger · 29 Dec 2010 at 22:00

Config is created and portable is there.
Thinking about it now it might be my PC being dodgy, the SSD I have in it was originally installed in my desktop then transferred to my netbook without re-installing. I need to do a clean install in the next week or so anyway. If you want me to do any more troubleshooting just let me know, but prob best to wait until i re-install and I'll test it again in case I'm wasting your time.

Well it's something I can look into anyway since your other apps work mine should too. But it could be something to do with the setup you have. I'll wait for other testers to let me know.

Thanks for your time.
