    Hey Guys
    Me again, I've downloaded some software from the internet and it's an ISO file. I'm not sure what to do with it. They have been extracted but of couse I can't read them. I'm trying to install this software but don't know the procedure. Is the software embedded into the ISOs? I don't know if I have to convert the files then burn a Data DVD or just burn the file using Nero 8. After I burn them to a Data DVD what do I do with it then? I tried once and it opened like an audio file. Can someone please help. Thank You

    Burn the ISO to a disc using Imgburn, then reinsert your disc and the software should play from the disc or you should be able to install it normally.

    You have to burn them using e.g. Nero by selecting burn saved image project and you'll be able to understand for what this iso file stands.
    On the other hand you can look inside the iso comilation using e.g. WinRAR and see what files are involved. In case that the stuff is of your interest you can continue with burning the compilation, else reject the burnining procedure.

    you can also mount the iso in nero image drive and it acts like a disc inserted to your pc and can run/install, no discs needed...

    Thanks Guys

    I ended up using 7-Zip to unpack the ISOs and then intalled the software manually only to find out that half the files were broken. I sure appreciate all the assistance.
