A default path is shown in the "Unzip to Folder" box: "C:\Program Files\STCrystl\DEMO". You can accept this, and the installation files will be extracted there, or you can type in the path to another folder of your choice. (The folder does not have to exist already; it will be created if needed.) 4) Click the "Unzip" button. You should see a message box that reads "3 file(s) unzipped successfully". 5) To install the DEMO, you need to run "setup.exe", which is one of those unzipped files.

(If you have an older version of Windows and the setup program informs you that some system files are out of date, you will need to restart your computer after the updates are made. After your computer reboots, run "setup.exe" again.) 7) To start the DEMO, click "Start" on the Taskbar, and select "Programs", then "Star Track Software", and finally "Swarovski Crystal DEMO". 8) Read the instructions on the screens and use the the command buttons that are active to navigate through the DEMO.
