How to install zip archive?

Support Basics & Interface

Hi,

I know this is probably a very simple question, but I’m somewhat unfamiliar with Windows 7 (was using Mac) and I am wondering what the proper way to install the zip archive versions of both the 64 bit 2.49 build and 2.5 is…

Thanks,
Healius

Unzip it (unzipping built into windows). Move the folder wherever you want (Program Files). Create a shortcut for the blender application, put on desktop or taskbar. Treat it like an .app on a mac, no installer required.
