Ah ok. Open computer and right click your DVD drive, click open or explore, locate and double click setup.exe, follow the on screen prompts.

Put the disk in. Right-click on the DVD drive in Start > Computer > Click Open. The correct file to double-click will be the one that has a coloured icon of the app and in a column next to it somewhere across the page on the same line it will say Application.

Excellent news.

The reason it did not automatically send a setup screen when you put the disk in is because autoplay was set to do nothing.
