so say i downloaded photoshop through ares, and i unzipped it into winzip (although of course i didnt, because that might count as piracy
 ), how would i go about installing it from there? because i cant figure it out...

lol riiiight
 j/kwhen you unzip it, there should be an installer or setup application ending in .exe. that should take you through the installation process and just follow the steps. |

if you have P2P, there should be somewhere where your files go into, right? when i got mine, i just extracted the zip file and opened the file and it had instructions there *shrug*

...... Have you tried using setup.ins? Just wondering, because installation files don't remain on the comp, so I don't think they'd end .exe somehow. But I could be very off.

ok extract all the files to a certain folder on your computer .. like you can make a photoshop folder in your my documents section then use winzip to extract them to there
then you extract them .. then you go to start>>my documents>>w/e the name the folder is and click setup from there it should then work |

open the .zip file. if there is a .nfo file in it, then open that .nfo file with the notepad. the .nfo file should have instructions. if there are .iso or .cue files inside the .zip then you need to burn the .iso or .cue onto a cd.
