Download:

32 Bit:
http://sinvise.net/beta/ShutdownTimer.exe

64 Bit:
http://sinvise.net/beta/ShutdownTimer64.exe

These are both portable versions just for testing purposes.

Please report any bugs or errors you may face.

i downloaded and extracted the 64 version, it setup a folder, when i tried to run the extracted exe file, it just blinked for a second and nothing happened.

That's weird. Can you tell me what folder it created and whether it showed anything else.

 

[tapuz]

there are 8 files in the extracted folder
config.db - 12 kb
Microsoft.Expression.Interactions.dll - 64 kb
portable - 0 kb
Shutdown Timer.exe - 2443 kb
System.Data.SQLite.dll - 844 kb
System.Windows.Controls.Layout.Toolkit.dll - 93 kb
System.Windows.Interactivity.dll - 44 kb
WPFToolkit.dll - 457 kb

i downloaded the 64 bit one again, and got the same results.

maybe this will help, i ran a previous version twice, and did not do a restart on my computer yet, only sleep.

Have you tried opening Shutdown Timer.exe?

 

[tapuz]

of course, after i downloaded the 64 bit file, and extracted it into a folder, i double clicked on the Shutdown Timer.exe file, it blinked for a second, and nothing happened, tried it a few times.

Sorry just you didn't state you ran the file.

Have you tried running the 32 bit version. Then I'll be able to know if it's just a corrupted file or not.

 

[tapuz]

the 32 version opened up, and seems to be working.

Ok thanks I'll try and fix the 32 bit version.
Let me know of any bugs you face with the program while using it.

Thanks

 

[tapuz]

i run a 64 version of windows, but i assume that the 32 version will work just as good.

Yes that's right. The 32 & 64 bit are the exact same. Just the 32 & 64 bit work on a 64 bit system and the 32 bit can only work on a 32 bit system.

 

[tapuz]

okay thanks.

i use your program daily, to shutdown, really usefull, thanks alot, and good luck on your finishing touch.

Thanks. I spent a lot of time trying to save as much memory as I can and also provide extra functionality

Sandeep,

I used this during the first release. It was good and now the interface seems good. And after that I was too busy to visit here. Just now I downloaded the 64bit version. It seems all the options are disabled. So, what can i try using the trial version?

(it's me from above, that had the problem with the 64 version)

i tried the 32 bit, and the program opened up, but when i go to add a task, the add task button on the bottom, i get the following popup window:
you have entered an invalid time, please enter a time in the format hh:mm

the problem is, that even after i do that, in the above time slot, the above window keeps popping up.

Just wanted to say that it's a very nice gesture giving away a license to those who have contributed to the development.

Thanks for timer....

For timer shutdowns I use my MediaMonkey gold, but I'd consider this if I can remote shutdown & wake - can the author confirm please?

Thanks

Hmm that's strange behaviour, are you sure you have entered a correct time format, it has to be a 24 hour time format.

No sorry it does not have the ability to remotely shutdown yet.
