Welcome to SPWaW. If I understand your question, just put it into some game directory of your choice. It will run anywhere although it does have a self extracting utility that puts it in a default directory.

Please consider visiting the Matrix store and ordering a Mega Campaign. They provide more realistic play (as they are crafted by people) compared to the randomly generated campaign in the game and it supports development of the free basic game.
Never take counsel of your fears.

IIRC, SPWAW download is a self-extracting archive (or what ever they call it) thus it does not require an extra unzip programme.

Once you have successfully downloaded the whole file double-click on the icon and it will start to install (just like any programme you have added that has an "install.exe" file).

If that doesn't work I can get a copy of 6.1 out to you ASAP.
God and warriors we adore
In times of trouble, not before
When the trouble's over, and all is righted
God is forgotten and our warriors slighted

after you've downloaded and gottenoff the internet,look in your file marked "downloads".look for a bue and white picture of a computer marked "spwaw(or something similar)..put your mouse curser on it and click with your mouse..it should open and give the full title of the program.if it's "spwaw",it will say so..click on it again and jus answer the questions every timeit goes to a new screen..the guys at Matrix made this way cool and very simple.(the hard part will be trying to survive your 1st several battles...)...welcome and if you need any help or answers,this "room" is full of friends... <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
