So i have a apm2.5 and just downloaded mp 1.2.28 I'm running a new macbook with a xp boot camp drive i.e. a xp laptop i have .net ect.... so i extracted the file and cant find a install exe? there is ardupilotmega planner exe file. So i clicked on that it just loaded the mission planner but there was never a "install with drivers and progress-bars etc" i keep reading about in the formsand showed in the wiki... I hooked up the apm via usb and didnt see it but xp asked for a driver so i pointed it to the drivers folder in mission planner unzipped folder and it loaded... i can connect and see values etc but i cant seem to feel i missed the install some how did a manual setup, and am missing other components like drivers for when the 3dr radios etc... so bottom line, is there not really a install just a run exe. or am i overlooking a install exe? the only problem i did see is i was playing with it at work (no wifi) and i could no longer see the firmware is this function only available online? i cant seem to feel there should be a hard copy of the firmware on hand and only replaced if we hit the update via the help tab?

Thanks
