I suspect you’re going to get a few comments here about the installation!
1. @Ashraf I don’t like your new downloader. It installed a run-on-startup program which I don’t need or want – thankfully I have the software to block it. Also as the install failed it was just as well I had checked the box to save a copy of the install file that was downloaded but can you give us the option where to save it? I’ve never used the “downloads” folder before (as I have my own folder structure for things) and I had to hunt around to find it

2. Avast didn’t like the install program but I over-rode Avast and installed anyway. It got most of the way through and then Avast killed the install as it said IISStartService had a virus in it of type FileRepMalware. No Option to carry on at that point. I’d be keen to get an all-clear from the developer before installing again (with Avast turned off)

Questions for developer.
1.I read on your website that you are ex Quicken users which is good as I am also a Quicken user, looking to move to something else (have been looking for a while), but I’m in Australia and the Australian version of Quicken does not have the export to a QIF file option, so I would have no way of getting my Quicken data into Money-Pal. There are quite a few people in the same boat with Quicken (Aus), so if you had any way of getting raw Quicken data into MoneyPal, then you may pick up quite a few Aussie Quicken users. To give you an idea of what I mean Google “How to export data from Reckon Quicken Personal Plus to Moneydance” and you will see how someone set up a process to get the data from Aus Quicken to MoneyDance. I have the link but suspect I can’t post a link here. If you’re able to put a process together like that for MoneyPal that would be great.

2. I read the features and FAQ and may have missed it but does MoneyPal have reminders?

Thanks

There is a VIRUS in Money-Pal Program (avast antivirus). or suspicious thing.

…………………………….

and me too i don’t like the downloader.

i want the old sharewareonsale with direct links.

Dizados not happy.
but thx ashraf anyway.

A few points for SoS and Money-Pal devs:

– SoS: The downloader is just a waste of my time, a hassle. I have to download a downloader that I do not want, then I have to download the file that I want from the downloader and copy it to where I want it. It is more text I have to scrutinise to avoid getting stuff installed I do not want. It’s a hurdle that will preclude my trying software I’d only be moderately interested in, which works against the goal of getting software ‘out there’.

– Money-Pal: It installed just fine–it could use a silent install for the dependencies. After installation, I clicked on the icon (where’s the “run now” option?) to launch Money-Pal and all I got was a “File not found” error from “Money-pal Web Services Setup”. This is on a clean Win10-1511 virtual machine.

– Both: After the downloader hassle, do you think I want to fiddle with resolving this software’s error? Not really–pretty sick of crapware at this point.

– Both: No interference with Win10 defender, no issues with false-positives, no issues during installation.

– Everyone else: I stopped using Avast about a year ago since they decided to increase their detection rates by disproportionately increase their false-positive rates. And the computer-breaking conflicts. And the bundled crapware. I’m happy with Win10 Defender/Smartscreen + uBlock Origin + Microsoft EMET 5.5 + do unproven stuff on a Sheepdip VM.

won’t authorize, demo only ran in admin mode no dice.

Extremely difficult setup process with inadequate documentation. After spending over an hour trying to get the required IIS service working, I have up.
