## 2. Getting Started

Before you can begin using the Windows Installer Localization Kit, you must install it and setup your working directories. This is a simple matter of unzipping the compressed kit file(s) into the proper directories. Your system must also meet certain requirements to run the tools needed to perform the localization steps described below.

### System Requirements

There few system requirements for the kit in the strictest sense; however, your choice of tools will have their own set of requirements. The most likely minimum configuration will be as follows:

- 100% IBM compatible PC
- Pentium® processor
- Microsoft® Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 (localized versions will help testing but aren't required)
- 16 MB RAM
- 30 MB available hard disk space
- InstallShield International version 3.0 or other install builder software
- A visual resource editor, such as those provided with Microsoft® Visual C++, Borland® C++, etc.
- An active Internet connection and the ability to ftp (send and receive) large files
- A Web browser (say, for example, Netscape Communicator ;-)

###

### Installing the Kit

It is recommended that you install the Windows Installer Localization Kit into the same directory as your other Netscape/Mozilla localization kits: in other words, install this kit into your kitRoot directory. Place this localization kit's .ZIP file in that directory and UNZIP it with the -d parameter:

PKUNZIP -d filename

Example: `PKUNZIP -d instkit`

### Configuring Your Tools

Please refer to your Installshield or other install builder tool's documentation for set up and usage instructions.
