I'm afraid attachments don't, for security reasons I believe, usually make it through the mail list software. Yours didn't, so we're 'running blind'. One way round this is to put the document on a web site, and provide the URL. Are you running windows in some flavour? I thought all (recent) versions had a 'start' menu. I can't vouch for the exact format under vista, as I'm running xp. If you don't have a 'start' menu, how do you normally start programs (if not from a desktop icon)? >From what you say, it does sound as if you're looking at the unpacked distribution kit. Windows has an undesirable ability to suppress file types (.exe in this case), which is best turned off and left that way. Do you see types (.jpg, .doc, or similar) for any other files on the system? When you say running 'setup' (probably setup.exe in fact) gives "an option to MODIFY the files I already have", can you say /precisely/ what happened and what the message says please? You can check whether the program is installed either by looking under \Program Files, or by checking 'add or remove programs' from control panel.
