[Plugin: Countdown Timer] Does not install. Throws fatal error in settings screen after download

2 errors:

1:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘DateTimeZone::__construct() [datetimezone.–construct]: Unknown or bad timezone ()’ in C:\wamp\www\wp-content\plugins\countdown-timer-abt\options.php on line 47

2.
( ! ) Exception: DateTimeZone::__construct() [datetimezone.–construct]: Unknown or bad timezone () in C:\wamp\www\wp-content\plugins\countdown-timer-abt\options.php on line 47

So something on this line is wrong:

<?php $currTime = new DateTime(‘now’, new DateTimeZone($options[‘timezone’])); ?>

Shame. Cannot use until sorted out.
