You don't need to install the library anywhere then, just place it  
inside your working directory and add a local reference to it. If the  
downloaded software does not advise you to install it into the GAC,  
it's probably not a good idea to put it there.

To find out whether you can use the downloaded software, you might  
want to try the MoMA tool to check for dependencies on native Windows  
libraries.
