with no parameters, files are extracted into the current directory.

Enter "Y" to confirm and files are unpacked into the download 
directory or the directory specified.  

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

To create a driver diskette, run MAKEDISK.BAT.

To install the driver, go to the Control Panel.
Double-click the Multimedia Icon.  Select the Devices Tab.  Select Add. 
Select Unlisted or Updated Driver.  Click OK.  Enter the 
path where the drivers are located (from step 2) or enter A:\ if 
installing from a created diskette.
