    Each program is different. Some programs don't even need to be installed.

    Someone who has used the program before would be able to tell you, but we won't be able to without more information because we don't even know what the program is.

    Are you absolutely sure what these programs do? Are they from a legitimate source? This sounds like it could go very wrong, very quickly.

    As Greg infers do a virus scan on the folder containg the files first. Check if there are any hidden files (maybe a readme.txt) that explains how to install, if this is possible or even necessary.
