Preparing your installer

- Unzip "LicenseSupportInstallerWin32_<version>.zip"
- Unzip "Sonnox PTH-G4 Installer.zip"
- Copy the extracted contents to the top level of a USB drive (or CD-R)
Ensure that the folder structure is as follows:
- USB drive (or CD-R)
- LicenseSupportInstallerWin32_<version> (folder)
- TDM Plug-Ins (folder)
