Well I have done it 2 ways in the past. First way is with a kit that 3M makes and uses double stick tape which you affix to the trim around the window and then apply a sheet of plastic to the tape. After you put the plastic up you use a hairdryer to heat the plastic and it shrinks tight. It's a really nice way to do it but it's pretty expensive per window. The other thing is come spring, its not easy to get the adhesive off the trim. The other way I have done it is to buy a roll of sheet plastic ( like painters use) cut a piece a few inches larger than the area you want to cover. I stick it in place with a few pieces of tape. Then, I use thin strips off wood and tack those all around the window trim to hold the plastic in place. Works great and I don't have sticky adhesive to clean up in the spring!

Is it better to install a replacement window from the outside in or inside out?
From the outside,then the opening can be sealed from wind and rain.I've never installed a window from the inside,in my 30 yrs of house building. - - - - - Vinyl replacement windows are safer to install if you stand inside the building when you're putting the window unit into the hole. Once they're in place you can do all your sealing either from the inside or from the outside--on a double-hung replacement unit, you can remove both sashes and do the sealing easily and effectively. A new construction window, like a homebuilder would install in a new house, MUST be installed from the outside. Replacement windows don't have that problem.
