Entering "Y" to confirm the unpacking of files creates a new directory

newly created directory.

3. After the directory has been created, you may delete the self-extracting
file downloaded in step 1.

4. To install, run SETUP.EXE.  For example, enter:

   <path>\SETUP
   where <path> is the drive and directory created in step 2
            
   Follow the on-screen instructions.

created in step 2 if you wish.
