Hi there...Steve W. writing as a newbie....
Tim, I would order the CD which is next to free. I am a newbie to
installing stuff as well, so I would do it that way if possible. Also, the
5.2 version came with my order of Mdk 7.0 so I am pretty sure you should
have got it as well. If not, go to the LSL homepage and check for cheap
versions ($1.99 per CD or something!). www.lsl.com
Best of Luck!!
