Instructions for Self-Extracting Archives

To download and expand the self-extracting archives:

  • Click on the link to the archive. Your browser will prompt you for the location on your hard drive where you want to save the file.

  • Designate the directory in which you want the file downloaded (for example, "C:\temp") and click the "Save" button.

  • Once the file is downloaded, open the directory in a window on your desktop or in Windows Explorer and double click on the file.

  • The file will open a window and prompt you for the directory in which you want it to expand. It is suggested that you use the same directory (for example, "C:\temp").

  • Click the "UnZip" Button. The archive file will expand and place its contents in the directory that you designated and indicate how many files were expanded. Hit the "OK" Button and the "Close" Button to exit the archive executable. You may then delete the archive or save it for future use.
