-*Remarks:* Windows XP has reached "end of life" on April 8th, 2014. This means that Microsoft has stopped all support for Windows XP. Thus **no** updates or bugfixes are made available to regular Windows XP users since that date, **not** even security fixes! Thus, all the security vulnerabilities that have been discovered *after* the deadline – and all the security vulnerabilities that are going to be discovered in the future – will *persists* forever! Consequently, using Windows XP has become a severe security risk, and the situation is only going to get worse. While LameXP will continue to support Windows XP (note that Service Pack 3 is required!) for the foreseeable future, we *highly* recommend everybody to update to a less antiquated system now. Windows XP support will be discontinued in a future version, when most users have migrated to a modern system.

-Now open the downloaded ZIP file with your favourite file archive software (we recommend using [7-Zip](http://www.7-zip.org/) or [WinRAR](http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm)) and navigate to the "win32" sub-directory.

-Finally, *extract* all the three files ``neroAacDec.exe``, ``neroAacEnc.exe`` and ``neroAacTag.exe`` into the LameXP installation directory. That is the directory where your LameXP executable file, i.e. the ``LameXP.exe``, is located.
-
-*Note:* By default, the LameXP installation directory is either ``C:\Program Files (x86)\MuldeR\LameXP`` or ``C:\Program Files\MuldeR\LameXP``. However, this can be changed by the user during the setup process.
