	In Windows, WinZip will find the software's installation program when first extracting the file. An Install button will automatically appear at the right side of the WinZip dialog box.

Install the downloaded software (optional)

If the type of file you downloaded is a piece of software, chances are you'll need to install it before you can put it to use. If you're using Windows, double-click on the Read Me file (or something similarly named) that came with the download. This will open specific instructions for installing the software.

If you're using a Macintosh, extracting the file usually places the software on your computer without the need to perform any additional installations. A Read Me file (or something similarly named) will contain any additional instructions for installing the software.
