Inside is Install-RecursiveCreativeSystems.ps1. Right-click PowerShell, run as administrator, then:

.\Install-RecursiveCreativeSystems.ps1 -All        Control and the instruments
.\Install-RecursiveCreativeSystems.ps1 -Control    Control only
.\Install-RecursiveCreativeSystems.ps1 -Suite      the instruments only

It places the instruments where Live finds them, the Remote Script where Live loads it, and a small service that starts with Windows. Then in Live: Preferences, Link, Tempo and MIDI, pick RecursiveControl as a control surface.
