Downloads and install the VLC media player available at http://www.videolan.org/.
vlc_installer looks in the directory where vlc_installer.exe is for any files it needs before attempting to download them. If it does download a file, it will attempt to save a copy of the file in this same directory.
vlc_installer adds the installation directory to your PATH environment variable.
On 32-bit systems, this directory is usually C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC.
On 64-bit systems, this directory is usually C:\Program Files(x86)\VideoLAN\VLC.
