If it´s not, you must copy the files wherever you got it to C:\Program Files, otherwise the installation will be aborted. During the installation you will be offered to install three additional toolbars: Yahoo!, The Weather Channel and Dealio. None of them are essential for the program to run.
You can customize the appearance of your application using several predefined color schemes.
