Step 1: Go to where you downloaded the file, and
double click on the self-extracting file (tcpp101.zip) in Windows to extract it.
This will open a WinZip Self-Extractor window (you do NOT need WinZip
installed on your machine). By default, this will extract the files to the
C:\tctemp directory. You may designate a different location.
Step 2: Once the files have been extracted, exit
WinZip Self-Extractor window.
Step 3: Open an MS-DOS command prompt window.

Step 4: Change the directory to the c:\tctemp
(or wherever you put the unzipped files folder), and execute the INSTALL.EXE
