This is necessary if you wish to bond your Android's 4G/LTE or Wi-Fi connection with your Mac's Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.
NOTE: macOS or OS X can be restrictive. Some users will find issues adding connections to their mac. In these cases, get in touch with your network adapter manufacturer for further support.

This should take you straight to your Temp directory whatever Windows you're running
Here you can delete everything safely BEFORE running the installer
Once that directory is relatively clear, run the installer and you'll see a new directory (which should have the current date/time)
Here you'll find the files as per the OP's instructions, just remember to leave the first screen of the installer alone and once you've installed the two MSI's, cancel the installer
