Installation or setup is the act of making the system or program ready for execution.

How to install from a Download
You can right click and click open or double click the program icon to run the installer application
Installing a new program on Windows is very simple. Usually, this downloads an installer package, which you'll use to install the program itself.
Every install wizard is a little different, but generally it just involves hitting "install now" button and "next" button a number of times.
Program will now begin installing. No user intervention is necessary. All you need to do is wait, everything is automatic.
In any moment you will be able to use the application or program that you just installed.
Congratulations! You can now start using the application right away.
Usually, at the end of an installation, shortcut created on the desktop and the Start Menu.
This Shortcut helps you to easily access that program whenever you want.
How to install from a CD or DVD
Autorun from a CD or DVD • Many software programs, games, and utilities have an AutoPlay feature. This feature automatically starts a setup screen for the software program when inserting a CD or DVD. If your program contains this feature, follow the steps that appear after inserting the disc into the computer.
No Autorun Feature
01 • Open My Computer.
02 • Within the My Computer window, open the drive that contains the installation files. For example, if the files are on the CD-ROM drive, open the D: drive or letter of your CD-ROM drive.
03 • Within the drive that contains your files, locate either the executable setup (i.e. "setup.exe") or install file. Double-clicking on this file starts the installation process. If you see multiple setup or install files, try to locate an executable file or double-click each of the setup or install files until you find the file that starts the installation. Many times the icons associated with the installation files have the same name.
Important Note:
Make sure your computer meets the system requirements of the program, game, or utility you are attempting to install.
The manual or the readme file contains exact instructions on how to install a program and are in the same directory as the installation files.
When installing a program, utility, or game, it is always a good idea first to close or disable any other programs that are running.
After installing a new program, if it prompts you to reboot the computer, do it.
Here are some things you want to watch out for:
Instal Type: You'll often be asked to perform a "typical" or a "custom" install (or some variation thereof). In pretty much every situation, a typical install should be just fine.
Install Location: By default, the installer will probably want to put your program in C:\Program Files\Name of Application or Program. Again, the default location is fine.
