The instructions read as follows:
>>
First, download a Win32 port of mkisofs here or here (local mirror). There are a number of files inside the ZIP file. You only need to copy mkisofs.exe to a directory which is in your path.

Well you may copy it anywhere you like, provided that the PATH environment variable contains this path... you can update it if needed.
For example, let's say you're using Windows XP.
Hit the Windows and Pause (up there in the right corner) keys.
On the "Advanced" tab, look for a button named "Environment variables", click it.
In the second list, scroll down for a variable named "Path", select it, and modify it to add the path of the folder where you put your command line tools, with a semicolon separating it from the rest.
For example, if that is C:\MyProgz, add ";C:\MyProgz" at the end of whatever value is already associated to Path.
Then click ok the number of required times to close all those windows.
If you're using Windows 9x, that's even more simple : look for a file called AutoExec.bat at the root of the C drive, and edit it (notepad will be ok for that) to add your path at the end of the "SET PATH=<something>" line, always with a ";" to separate it from the rest.
Should the line not exist already, just create it... better include C:\Windows and C:\Windows\Command in it too, then.
So you should get something like :
SET PATH=C:\Windows;C:\Windows\Command;C:\MyProgz
or
PATH C:\Windows;C:\Windows\Command;C:\MyProgz
(PATH being both an environment variable and a command to set and display its value)
