I just down loaded visual studio 2010 and I went through the installation process of choicing a location and I thought I could now use the program. But it is asking me to burn the image to a disk. I don't understand because I thought this was an exe file. But the name of the file is: en_visual_studio_2010_premium_x86_dvd. How do I change it to an exe 开发者_如何转开发file so that I can use it. It there a way for me to convert it. I kind of remember the instructions saying something like you have to change the extension to exe. Could I go back make the change in the extension and redownload? I could have gotten a copy of the program at school but I was told I could download the exe file to my computer. I'm confused.

Unfortunately you can't. The file they provide is an ISO, which is a DVD image intended to be burned.

You do have other options: You may want to mount the ISO into a virtual optical drive, using software like Daemon Tools Lite or Alcohol 120%.

Another option is to extract the files from the ISO to a folder, using a compressing software like WinRAR, 7-Zip, etc..

I think you got the disc image for it... I got a copy from school and that's what I downloaded as well. Get a program like Daemon Tool Lite or something to mount the image.

Click here to download magic ISO. This program will look similar to this when you open that file that is currently giving you problems:

Right-Click the cd icon in the upper left tray and right click it. Choose "Extract" and select a destination folder for your files.

When that's done navigate to the folder and run the setup.exe file found there.
