No question is stupid.  It is the way *some* ask.

That isn't really for the mrtg mail list.  If you don't tell the list
that you are a newbie on the OS, nobody knows.  If you *do* tell it,
half of the answers will redirect you to another resource.  The other
half will probably contain useful hints.

You mean setup.exe :)  Seriously, I never read the windows guide myself.
I hope that the documentation is mentioned there and that it will point
you to the right file.  If not, perhaps it needs some modifications.

And we're back at problem #1.  Unfamiliar with the OS.

These are not stupid questions IMHO.
