To install VLC Media Player in Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8
Step 0: Download and launch installer
Download the installer package from the VLC download page for Windows web site. Once downloaded, double click it to begin the installation process.

Like millions of people before you, your love affair with VLC begins with an ominous warning about closing all other applications before installing it. You can just go ahead and click Next.
Step 3: Licence agreement
You should think about reading the Terms of Service prior to clicking Next.
Step 4: Select components
This menu provides you with the ability to customize your install. You choose all the components you wish to install and whether you want VLC to be your default media player or not. Once you are done, feel free to click Next.
Step 5: Pick a location
You choose the installation folder with Browse... and when you are ready you click Install.
Step 5: Now installing
Wait as VLC begins installing.
Step 7: Installation complete
Once installation is completed, you may choose to run VLC, read a bunch of boring release notes, or do nothing at all. Nothing at all. Nothing at all.
