Notepad++ Linter Reviews

I am a beginner user of Linter and this has very poor and lazy documentation. It provided me with a sample configuration code in xml and that's it. I don't even know where to get those sample .cmd files referred to in the configuration. Now Linter won't run in my Notepad++ because I do not have an hour or two to spend to figure out how to make my own .cmd files for launching Linter in Notepad++.
