Hi,

Because of a license/agreement my college have I am able to download some microsoft office programs for free. However when I downloaded Microsoft Access it downloaded as an ISO file, something I have no experience with. I dont understand how I am supposed to save the file so that the program will install and run on my laptop. I have the file saved in a temp folder for the moment. Any help given will be really appreciated. Thanks.

... click mirror 8, download,save and run/open

... you'll need a blank cd/dvd to "burn" the iso to.

... so that the "iso" which is an image file of a cd or dvd can now become a cd/dvd.

... you can run the iso off a virtual drive to install the contents or copy the content from the iso by mounting the iso ... saves using cd's dvd's

... virtual drive software < click , I've never used this one! ... it's meant to be good

You see I've already burned the iso file to a CD-R but when I put in the CD into the computer it just shows as a winrar archive I cant install or run the program? There's a SHELEXEC.exe file in the 'Autorun' folder but no way to run it?

If you have a winrar extension then get 7zip or universal extractor. Odd. MS usually only uses their stuff.

... you have to burn the iso image file through the software it will say something like burn iso

... imageburn software says "write image file to disc" which you click

... next click file (tab) then browse to iso file!

... (an "iso" is compressed "winrar" associates with that file extension as do many other programs, follow the instructions above to burn or mount the image.)
