 +===== Windows Install – Older Plugin Versions Note =====
 +
 +From ''version 2.0.12'' onwards, the plugin no longer provides a Windows installer. This is because the OBS plugin template code (used by this plugin) was removed by the OBS team.
 +
 +If you are installing a newer version of the plugin into the ''ProgramData'' folder and have an older version already installed, you will need to manually remove those older files once. After this clean up, future plugin updates will simply overwrite the existing plugin folder in ''C:\ProgramData\obs-studio\plugins''.
 +
 +Older versions of the plugin installed files directly into ''C:\Program Files\obs-studio''. You will need to delete these files, as they may interfere with the new installation.
 +
 +Delete the following files/folders if they exist:
 +
 +  * ''obs-plugin-countdown'' folder inside ''C:\Program Files\obs-studio\data\obs-plugins''
 +  * ''obs-plugin-countdown.dll'' and ''obs-plugin-countdown.pdb'' files inside ''C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit''

 +Copy the files and folders inside the unzipped ''data'' folder into this new location. There should at least be a folder called ''locale'' inside the ''data'' folder.
