Version: Macro Scheduler 7.3.11.4e
"Decent, but should look at AutoHotKey, Limnor, WinBatch, & AutoIT also/first."
Pros: This automation product, is one of the few which I have strong mixed feelings about.
1. The ability to mix in VBScript is absolutely brillant. If you are a VB users, than this feature is something to love. Its like VBScript on massive steroids.
2. Can compile to .exe
3. Many helpful tools to make script.
4. Can be learned quickly. Futhermore, you are using VBScript commands which is a very widely accepted standard in the Windows world.
Cons: 1. PRICE. Some nasty charges...
2. Freeware competition is close to and superior to it in many areas. If you buy this product, AutoIt and AutoHotKey, may make you feel you wasted your money. AutoIt can do just about everything Macro Scheduler can do.
AutoIT users have even made conversion scripts for switching VBScript code to AutoIt code. Therefore the transition for Visual Basic people is not too hard to easy. The AutoIt scripting language is as easy to a little bit easier to learn in comparison to VBScript. AutoHotKey's scripting language version is easier than VBScript and AutoIt to learn.
4. WinBatch is arguably superior in many areas to Macro Scheduler. WinBatch is also technically superior to AutoIt and AutoHotKey as well. On top of this, WinBatch arguably does a better job at price/charges for its product. But WinBatch's scripting language can be equally to more difficult in comparison to VBScript, AutoIt, and AutoHotKey.
5. Users of Macro Scheduler may also want to consider Limnor (codeless) programming system if they want to develop small applications.
Overall, all of Macro Scheduler competition makes it really hard to say yes. BUT, it is a decent product and if you don't want to learn another complex scripting language and stick with VBScript than it might be the way to go for you.
