Jump to step 10. -For installation from the Web, launch your browser application.-Download the setup file to your hard drive. -After completion of the downloading process, run the setup program to execute the setup wizard that will handle the automatic installation of the software. -Do step 7. -After the installation procedure has been completed and the setup wizard has terminated, reboot your machine before launching the newly installed software.
