This is kind of a work in progress, I will elaborate on each task as much as possible.
Installation Steps
Download iGaming CMS
Unpack the files to your computer
Upload the files to a web server
Run the install script
Delete the install scriptStep 1 - Download iGaming CMS
Visit the official releases forum here:
http://forums.igamingcms.com/forumdisplay.php?f=5
Select the latest version of iGaming and download the zip file located in the thread.
Step 2 - Unpack the files to your computer
Use a program like WinRAR to unpack the files to your computer. WinRAR has a free trial you can download, it will tell you it expires but in my experience it has never expired on me.

Other Zip Tools:
WinZip - http://www.winzip.com
7-Zip - http://www.7-zip.org/
Or you can use the zip utility built into Windows XP and Vista since the archive file is in ZIP format.
Step 3 - Upload the files to a web server
If you are using a remote web server to host your website, you will need to upload the files via FTP. I recommend Filezilla as the FTP client since it is in my opinion the best as well as open source.
http://filezilla.sourceforge.net
Search sourceforge for a "FTP Client" if you don't want Filezilla.
If you are running a local web server on your computer, you don't need to FTP the files anywhere. Copy the files from the download location to the httpdocs directory on your local web server.
If you want to install a local web server, I recommend Apache2Triad.
http://apache2triad.sourceforge.net
Step 4 - Run the install script
The install script is located in the /install directory wherever you have iGaming uploaded.
If you upload it to the root of your server, the URL would look like:
http://www.mydomainname.com/install/
Step 5 - Delete the install script
This is easy - just delete the /install directory. You don't need the files once iGaming is installed and leaving it there is a huge security hole.
