That's because there's nothing to choose for program files. They always get installed.

i thought that i had finally found the problem why my computer says window cannot open file when i try to download or play libraries,games and demos even when i have downloaded Byond.Im hoping that some one knows the solution to this because the only way i can join games is by the pager and by the featured games and i cant go download demos and libraries at all.

You set it in... Download firefox, way easier to configure then IE.

when i try to download or play games,ect. a message comes up that says:Windows cannot find file

you can manually choose the program file that created this or have windows do it automatically which do you want to do?
------------------------------------------------------------
when i choose automatic it brings up a site that has a problem opening and when i choose manual it brings up a list that shows my program files.when i click dream seeker on this list it says stuff about downloading byond and needing to have byond downloaded even though i HAVE byond downloaded and when i choose byond on the list it does nothing.

Have you tried reinstalling? That should fix your file associations.

when i reinstall it says your user acount has administrative access,do you want to create start menu items on all user acounts?

what does it mean by that?

If you say "yes", then all user accounts on the computer will get BYOND put on their Start menus. If you say "no", then only your account will.

If you're the only one who uses the computer, just say yes.

Extract the files somewhere, then copy the folder.
