Introduction > Installation

You can install TimeWriter Standard on your computer or file server by using the installation wizard. Download the latest version from https://www.timewriter.com/download/. The wizard will guide your installation process to ensure that the files go to the desired location.

It is preferable that you do not place the program in your C:\Program files\ folder. If you do, Windows will write the data onto an unpredictable location, which makes it difficult if the software should need to be transferred to another location at some other stage.

If you choose the default settings, all files will go to the C:\TimeWriterV5\ folder.

You will find the following programs in the installation folder:
