 This patch is packaged as a self-extracting compressed file (10593101.exe).

 In Windows, select "Run" from the "Start" menu.  Enter the path and 
 patch filename (Example: c:\temp\10593101) then select "OK".  

 The patch will uncompress and start the setup program automatically.  
 Follow the setup program prompts to complete the patch installation.  

 Restart Windows.
