Installing End of Time 3.0 ========================== The best way to install End of Time is to use the End of Time installation program install.exe. Simply copying the various End of Time files won't be sufficient, because the installation program initializes some data in the EndTime.Ini file that it creates. You can run it by either 1) Double click on install.exe in the file manager; or, 2) Using the Program Manager (or File Manager) menu, click on File, followed by Run. Then type in path\install.exe, where path is the path to the directory containing install.exe and the other End of Time files. DIRECTORIES ----------- Once the opening screen appears, you may click on the Continue button at the bottom-right of the screen to bring up the Directories Dialog Box. If the directories are correct, click on OK and then click on Continue again. Otherwise, make the necessary changes. Note that the directory that End of Time is to reside in need not already exist. The Installation program will create it if necessary. Once the Installation program has copied the necessary files, it will automatically run the Configuration program to allow you to set up End of Time according to your own wishes. Note that the Installation program does NOT copy install.exe to the End of Time directory. It would be best to keep a backup disk of all program files in case you ever need to uninstall (see Uninstalling End of Time below) or reinstall End of Time. EXIT INSTALLATION ----------------- Note that you may Exit the Installation program at virtually any time by clicking on the Exit button on the bottom-right of the screen. If you do so, you will need to re-run the Installation program to correctly install End of Time or to remove files that were copied before the exit (see below). PROGRAM MANAGER GROUPS ---------------------- To add End of Time to a Windows group, either: 1) using only Program Manager: Open the group you want to place End of Time into. Click on Files, then New, then Item. In the 'Description' box, enter "End of Time". In the 'Command Line' box, enter "endtime.exe". In the 'Working Directory' box, enter the path to endtime.exe. or 2) using File Manager and Program Manager, Open the group you want to place End of Time into. Locate endtime.exe in File Manager. With the left mouse button, click and drag endtime.exe to the group you just opened. I recommend you place End of Time in the StartUp group so that it will load automatically with Windows. Also, I have included an extra icon (endtime.ico) that you might like better. You can change icons after you've installed End of Time by clicking on File, then on Properties. The ensuing dialog box will include a button that allows you to change the icon. Uninstalling End of Time ======================== If you ever have a need to uninstall End of Time, just run the Installation program again. When the opening screen comes up, click on the Uninstall button on the bottom-right of the screen. You will be asked for confirmation before all End of Time files are removed. End of Time does not make any additions to any of the Windows ini files, so you can avoid worrying about that. However, you will need to remove any Windows icons associated with End of Time.
