-After you unzip the file, the folder will contain the post processor for use with Vectric CAM software. You will place these in the PostP folder under the Vectric program folder or wherever Vectric stores the post processors. To find that directory see this link: http://support.vectric.com/aspire-questions/item/where-to-find-post-processors-folder-on-pc
