Guest Lazlo Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Are you sure you aren't clicking on the wrong icon. If it's asking you how you would like to open it, it's not an .exe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toon Argy Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 It says it's an ISO file Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lazlo Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 You need to mount it. You need an app like daemon tools lite. An iso is an image of a cd/dvd that you need to re-create on a virtual drive http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&catid=5 Once installed right click on the icon in your tray, select virtual cd/dvd rom/ mount image. Then direct it to your iso file. That's the only way you can do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toon Argy Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 That worked a treat, thanks. Only problem now though is that when i click install its says: Error executing file. F:\setup.exe The requested operation requires elevation. Any idea what that means? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
