A 'bat' file will only run from a DOS prompt, so you need to open a DOS command window first:

1. Start->All programs->Accessories> Command Prompt

2. At the prompt, navigate by means of the keyboard to the folder where the bat file is located (using the CD command).

3. Now type the name of the file (without the 'bat', so just type SETUP)

4. press ENTER
