1. Make sure Affinity and Excel are not running.
2. Click on the pcres.exe file to begin the download process.  Select to SAVE the file onto your computer.
3. Specify the location for saving the file.  This should be your current Affinity system folder; Professional Affinity users will most likely save it to the AffPro32 directory, and Corporate Affinity users will want to save it in the AffCorp30 directory.
4. This is a self-extracting ZIP file.  Find this file with Windows Explorer and double-click it to run the extraction process.  Select to UNZIP the file.  The new pcres.xla will be extracted/installed, overwriting your existing copy.

After you have successfully installed pcres.xla, you will be able to run Affinity.
