We recommend that you use the default installation location, C:\Program Files\Vstplugins, because most DAWs recognize that automatically. Double-click this ".pkg" file to start the installation. Your download file should end in ".dmg". This is a container you will need to open to find the actual installer file called "Install Soundtoys 5.pkg".
