The c: directory is on your SYS drive, which is DH0 if you have a hard drive. So it sould be DH0:c

c: won't show up on Workbench unless you right-click and select "Window - Show - All Files" from the Workbench menu. Then you can drag Installer to the c: drawer.

There's a "Windows Explorer" type app for the Amiga called Directory Opus, that's almost an essential. It's here;

But you will need an LHA extractor to extract Directory Opus before you install it. You can extract it with WinZip on the PC and put it on a CF card to install it.

Here's a screen dump of Directory Opus in action;
