Where is the set up wizard?

I uninstalled firefox in order to download a clean version but don't get to the set up wizard. I recently encountered a trojan horse that caused me to quarantine certain archive functions. What do I look for and how do I fix this?

Firefox was "not responding" so I rebooted in safe mode to scan for viruses. I found that I couldn't install. I downloaded a service pack from MS for an installer and now I can download firefox (apparently) but can't see it on the control panel or in icon form, and can't access the set up wizard.

When you download Firefox, you are downloading the installer. You then have to run the installer that you downloaded to install Firefox. See How to install Firefox on Windows

My problem was that the set up wizard never showed up, though I downloaded several times to replicate the problem. Though downloaded, firefox never showed up as a download or as an icon, and neither did the wizard.
