To install the USGIN CSW Client, take the following steps:

1. In a web browser of your choice, navigate to the following web location:

2. Download the 2nd version of the CSW Client application archive (CswClient_v2.rar)
3. Using a software application of your choice, extract the contents of the .rar archive.
