I have downloaded some free templates and trying to install them on Windows Sharepoint Server.

These instructions were provided for the first step....


1. Download the solution EXE file to your computer.
2. Run the EXE file to unpack the template file to a
location on your computer.
3. Select the solution file, ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp,
from the extracted distribution. This solution file
will be added to the Windows SharePoint Services
solution store.
4. Via command line, run "stsadm –o addsolution –filename
ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp"
5. Next, run "stsadm –o deploysolution –name
ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp -allowgacdeployment".
Additional attributes may be required based on your
Windows SharePoint Services configuration.
6. Finally, run stsadm -o copyappbincontent
7. The Application Template Core solution has now been
added to the solution store, and deployed on the server.

I downloaded and extracted to desktop
When it says "select the solution file" What does it mean? When I double click it it just asks the usual, what program to do you want to open with
I have tried putting this line (and without the run) into command prompt but get the error - ...is not recognised and an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

run "stsadm –o addsolution –filename ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp"

Where do I go from here, the instruction are not exactly clear. I think they presume you already know lots about sharepoint and programming in general. I dont
 
Just noticing this thread...

You have a problem in your commands. You need to specify the full path to the file...

In order to use stsadm you need to go to the 12 Hive folder at:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12

Code:
stsadm –o addsolution –filename "c:\ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp"

Code:
stsadm –o deploysolution –name ApplicationTemplateCore.wsp -allowgacdeployment

Code:
stsadm -o copyappbincontent

Once you have a solution deployed to the solution gallery you might have to activate the associated features at site collection level.

Hope this helps.
