Step 6:

If the computer succeeded in finding the setup program, its file name will be displayed in the box labeled Command line for installation program. If the correct installation program name is not displayed there, you will have to click the Browse... button and find it yourself. If the correct setup program is displayed then click the Finish button. Thereafter, follow the setup program's installation instructions to install the program.
