How to Install Shareware

Last week we discussed how to download shareware.  This week we will finish the project and talk about installing and using shareware.

Many shareware programs you will download are in a compressed format called a ZIP file.  If this is the case, then you will need an “decompression” utility such as WinZip to get to the programs installation files.

Double click on the file you downloaded and one of two things will happen:
1.  WinZip will start and show you the files inside the “compressed package”…if so, look for a setup or install file and double-click on it to start the installation process
OR
2.  The installation process will start and you just follow the onscreen instructions.

That’s it…I think you will enjoy searching for and using shareware!
