Once you have downloaded NotePad Plus from either the website or the desktop client open the archive file you just downloaded
(
NotePadPlus_vx.x.x.zip) and extract the ZIP file to your desktop we recommend using either WinRAR or 7-zip which are both free.

Once you have completed step two go to where you extracted the files (i.e
Desktop) double click on the set-up installer file
(
setup.exe) you may need to run this as administrator on Windows 7. The installer will then carry on doing the work and give step-by-step
details with options to create
desktop shortcut, quick-launch icon and smart menu you can also tick "Automatically check for Updates.."
this is highly recommend.
