Installing an application is easy. To install an application that came on
CD or DVD, simply insert the disc into your computer. The Setup util-
ity should run automatically. If it does not, browse the content of the
drive and double-click the Setup.exe file. To install an application that
you downloaded, double-click the downloaded file after it has finished
downloading.
