Once the download has completed, open the folder containing the downloaded file.

The download is a zip file, which means it’s been compressed. The file must be uncompressed before proceeding with the installation. Microsoft Windows usually has built-in capability to uncompress a zip file, or you may use an alternative application such as 7-Zip.

 

Right-click on the downloaded file and select Extract All.

 

Choose a destination for the uncompressed folder. The default location will be the same as the original downloaded file. Select Show extracted files when complete and click Extract.


If you didn’t select ‘Show extracted files when complete’ or you are using an application such as 7-Zip, don’t worry; just navigate to the destination you chose to extract the files.

The uncompressed folder will no longer have the .zip extension. If you find two folders with the same name, you’ll need the one without the zip icon. In the example below, we’ll open the top folder.

 

 

Within the uncompressed folder, you’ll find a list of files. Locate the file called setup.exe as shown below:

Double-click the file. This will start the installation wizard. You may be prompted to provide administrator permission to run the installer.
