When the download dialog opens, choose a place to save it to your hard drive, and click 'Save' in Internet Explorer and Opera, or 'Save it to disk' in Netscape/Mozilla. (Do not click 'Open' or 'Open it with'). The most convenient place to save it would be your Desktop, but it can be saved anywhere as long as you remember where you saved it.
When the download is finished, go to your desktop (or wherever you saved it) and double-click this icon:
The Welcome screen will appear...
Click 'Next' to proceed. The next screen will be the End-User Software License Agreement (EULA)...
Be sure to read the EULA thoroughly before going further. It contains important information that you need to know. If you do not agree to its terms, simply click 'Cancel' to exit the installation with nothing being installed, and no changes made on your computer.
Click 'I Agree' to continue with installation. You will then see this screen... 
This shows you where on your hard drive BearShare will create a folder and install itself. If you prefer to have it installed on a different drive, or a different location on the same drive, click 'Browse' to navigate to the desired location. BearShare will create a folder and install itself there.
Now go to the next step...
This screen confirms that the installation was successful, and all you need to do is click 'Finish'.
After clicking the 'Finish' button in the previous step, you will see this dialog. It does exactly what it says. Click 'Yes' to launch BearShare to set it up, or click 'No' to do it at a later time. BearShare has been completely installed, so choosing 'No' will not undo anything you have done up to this point.
The Setup procedure, where you can fine-tune BearShare to work with your system, is on the next page.
