3. Start menu folder selection	4. Icons creation on the desktop or the quick launch toolbar (or not).
5. Installation summary. Click "Install" to proceed.	6. Installing...

Now the program prompts you to install OpenAL, to take advantage of 3D sound, and the programming language C++ (if no yet). Then you can execute Vega Strike, by double-clicking on the desktop or quick launch icon.
