PRAYER TIMES PROGRAM
Detailed Installation Instructions

1. Self Installer:

   • Download  this new version from the link below, run it, then follow directions.

   • If this is your first-time installation:
     Accept the proposed directory where program is to be installed. This will simplify updates and communication with our support department.

   • If this is an update of a previous installation:
     Make sure you request to install in the same directory where your current PTW.EXE is located.

   • After finishing installation, and when the main screen shows, do not click any item: Let the program run undisturbed for a few minutes in order to allow automated Live-Update (you must be connected to the internet).

   • If our program does not connect you automatically to the internet, just connect manually and try again.

   
   

2. AUTOMATED LiveUpdate:
   Just click Help / LiveUpdate.
   Please explore the options: Help / LiveUpdate Options.
   If our program does not connect you automatically to the internet, just connect manually and try again.




3. Sound Files:
   DO NOT FORGET TO GET THE SOUND FILES (Azhan files, and Quranic recitation files), otherwise you will not be able to hear the Suras before the azhan.

   • You can get the sound files automatically, by requesting live-update from within the program after upgrading to this new version (select: Help / Live-Update)

   • If the live-update fails, you can get the sound files from their individual links:

     • Download any or all files into the directory containing PTW.EXE (the Prayer Times Program).

     • Do not alter these files: Do NOT change their names, do NOT unzip them.

     • Once you restart the Prayer Times Program (PTW.EXE), they will be automatically installed.

   Even though our sound files use MP3 Compression, yet you do not need any other file to hear them (as of version 6.53 and later, which support mp3 compression internally)
