 The latter is needed by JACK enabled applications in order to be able to connect
 to the server.
 
+- Open an elevated (admin rights) Windows Power Shell (alternatively you can
+perform the steps in Windows Explorer or Windows Command Prompt with different
+commands):
+
 - Create a directory named C:\Program Files\Jack (can be anything else)
+
+mkdir 'C:\Program Files\Jack'
+
 - Copy all files in C:\msys64\opt\jack\bin to C:\Program Files\Jack
+
+cp C:\msys64\opt\jack\bin\* 'C:\Program Files\Jack'
+
 - Copy the following DLLs from C:\msys64\mingw64\bin to C:\Program Files\Jack,
 these are dependencies for the JACK server and tools:
 
-libstdc++-6.dll
-libdb-6.0.dll
-libsndfile-1.dll
-libsamplerate-0.dll
-libportaudio-2.dll
-libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll

 - Copy and rename the following files from C:\msys64\opt\jack\bin to C:\Windows
 to make libjack available to clients:
 
-libjackserver-0.dll   -> libjackserver64.dll
-libjack-0.dll         -> libjack64.dll

 - Copy the following files from C:\msys64\mingw64\bin to C:\Windows, these are
 dependencies for libjack. C:\Windows is the directory the current official JACK
 1.9.11 binary installer targets, a better solution should be devised to avoid
 cluttering the Windows directory:
 
-libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll
-libwinpthread-1.dll
-libtre-5.dll
-libsystre-0.dll

 - Copy JackRouter.dll from windows\JackRouter\Release64 to C:\Program Files\Jack
 This allows non-JACK applications to connect to the server through a special
