It's simple, just put the .dll file in your VST folder (typically C:/Program Files/Steinberg/Vstplugins or something like that). I don't use FLP but I have in the past. There is an option where you choose the VST's you want FLP to show. I think you a quick scan and the new VST's you install show up. Refer to FLP manual.

The software your going to use as the host (probably Sonar or Live) you open first, then you upen the slave (FLP) second. IT should rewire automatically. For info on how to access the inputs and synths, see the manuals (I don't use any of those progs so I couldnt tell ya)
