1.  From the download folder, right click on the desired file and
select <Extract All...> from the menu



2.  Select the <Browse...> pushbutton from the resulting dialog



3.  Browse to drive C, click once on the BandBro folder and click <Select Folder>

Select <ReplaceAll> when prompted


MAC OSX  Update/Activation Installation
If running Bandbro' on a Mac you will update and activate from an .EXE file - which is actually quite simple


Download normally. Open Bandbro' and select Help--> Install update. This should open a file browser pointing to the Downloads folder. Locate the update (BBupdxxx.exe) or Activation EXE and double click it to open. Click the <Unzip> pushbutton. Close all and restart Bandbro'.   


Activating an expired trial version on a Mac
From the Finder, open the download folder, right click on the activation or update EXE and select Open with... > Other.... From the subsequent application list, double click on the BandBro' application or copy thereof. After an interval, the extractor will open. Select <Unzip> and close. An update or activation will need to be applied for every copy of Bandbro.  

Once you successfully apply and update or activation, it is wise to delete the file from the download - to prevent a future mishap.
