Using WinRar seems to be the easiest.

1. download and install winRAR http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar420.exe
2. uninstall PR 1.0 beta(If needed)
3. download 1.0
4. unzip it with winrar
5. open setup.exe (or autorun.exe)
Best line yet...

You need to extract files. then once extracted you will see the autorun.exe or setup.exe

You guys be more helpful and stop discussing the merits of 7tip over winrar in here, thanks.

Doesn't matter where you extract it, t922, the installer will find the correct folder.

Alcohol 52% is the once ive been using for years. Its free and works like a charm.

Never mind, its not free anymore. It used to be free, and my copy still works.

For mounting .iso files, i'd always recommend "Gizmo". Simple and easy, right click on .iso file, select "mount .iso", done.

Nobody burned the install on DVD/Blu ray ever and nobody will. But developers clearly neglected the DAU .

I doubt that anyone not speaking German will understand the term DAU. :wink:
