very basic install question

I'm new to downloading the beta OS images, and thus need some context. The file is type .ISO, and it doesn't self-install. Is there an install app that needs to be downloaded, or does one have to burn the image to a DVD and boot from that, etc.?
Thanks!

OK - Daemon Tools (www.daemon-tools.cc) so you can mount the image virtually, or burn using Nero Burning ROM :o)

It was already answered in your first post. But whatever: ISO = CD Image --> use something like Nero to record the image to DVD.
(but honestly, if you don't know about ISO Images I'm not sure if you should betatest)

Its not required that you burn the image to a DVD, but its the most common way of installing Vista. You could use software that will mount the ISO as a DVD and install the software normally, examples include NERO Image Drive and Daemon Tools. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Doing well with Daemon Tools that mounts the ISO image. Very nice. Thanks for the referral.
