  • Download a .zip file that contains the appropriate .prc files inside.
  • Once downloaded simply double click on the .zip file and it will open in Winzip (or other zip software installed on your PC).
  • Double click on the .prc file inside of Winzip
  • The file will launch the associated Hotsync software and add the new software to the installation cue.
