Extract the RAR into a folder on your C:\ (e.g. C:\xda). Plonk the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and any other DLLs or files that came with that app into the same folder.
Put your XDA into its cradle. Run the MaUpgrade app. It'll say "do not remove device / turn off device" etc, then when you click next provided it can find the ROM fine it'll put the device into bootloader mode (you'll see it on the screen).
It'll then proceed to install the various parts of the ROM, and indicate which part it's on on the screen (plus a crude percentage figure to indicate its status). The first time I flashed my device, my PC hung halfway through, that wasn't to do with the XDA or the flashing process but a separate problem. I freaked, but I just rebooted and ran the entire process again and it flashed the device fine.
It's as simple as that really - once it's done, and the on-screen dialog shows it as finished, just remove your phone from the cradle, power it up and go through the set up!
