Create Windows AIK Installation Disc:
To install the Windows AIK program, you can use either of these methods:
1. Create a drive letter from the downloaded Windows AIK installation file. There are several free Virtual Disk programs available for this purpose.
2. Create an installation DVD.
If selecting option (2), please insert your blank DVD into a writable DVD drive, then click the Refresh button to select the listed drive to use to create the installation DVD. Once you have made that selection, click the Write DVD button and wait for the process to complete.
Once you have finished preparing the installer using either of these methods, open the drive letter for the AIK installer and start the installation by double clicking the StartCD.exe file, then select Windows AIK Setup from the menu.

The default location will be shown if found. If it is not shown then please use the search button to specify the folder where it has been installed.
