I'm a problem composer and want to check my problems with a chess engine. Some composers uses this engine too. I knew little about installation, I hope this thread will help me understand how to install Apwin or other engine-solving programs!

Thanks a lot in advance.

But you need a Windows Operating System. And you have to know if your computer is a 32-bit or a 64-bit

If you already made the folders:

C:\Aly\Apwin

C:\TempAP

Unzip the files the setupapwin-2012.zip by:

Right clicking on the setupapwin and click on Extract Files...

But only after you made the folders Laughing

Right clicking on the zip-file and click on Extract Files...

This means Unzipping

But you have to put the file in the folder TempAP

Hi Asorski. I found another program to run Popeye. It is called ProblemSolver. The installation is easier than the APwin program.
