The following are the steps to install an individual utility from the Microsoft
Windows Resource Kit:

1. Insert the Windows Resource Kit Disk 1 into your disk drive.

2. Switch to your WINDOWS directory.

3. Copy the appropriate program (for example, FISH.BAT) from the Windows
  Resource Kit Disk 1 into your WINDOWS directory.

4. Run the program (for example, FISH.BAT). Tell the program the location of
  your WINDOWS directory (for example, C:\WINDOWS), your source drive (for
