It should be installed automatically. However I discovered an incorrect setting in the registry which stops this happening.
If you look at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\document.wba\Shell\Open\Command or something similar you will see the comman line it is using to start wbload.exe. If it has "'s around it but is using short path/filenames (ie with ~1's) then remove th "'s just leaving the %1 with "'s round it. That should work and now they should be installed by just clicking to download them.
Hope this makes some sense. At work at the moment so going from memory.
