    You Can Extract The Contents Of The ISO File Using WinZip, etc. After Extracting You Can Install The Game Using The Setup File But Be Sure If The Game You Will Install Requires A Separate Play CD To Run The Game Then You Need To Burn The "Play" Part To CD So That The Game Can Run. You Can Use Free Programs To Burn Your ISO File. Just Google Out For Those Programs.

    If you are using Windows 98(next time please specify) :

    1.Open WinZip > File > Open > Selct the folder by browsing ( for Eg. If in E:\ select E: frm the drop down menu) > Open the file.

    2.If in Windows XP , click on Open with (right cilck, under open) and select WinZip if it is in the list. Else you should browse(C: > Program files > WinZip > WinZip.exe ).

    I hope you do it all right....

    There are two ways:

    1) Get WinRAR from http://www.rarlab.com/

    2) Try hosted conversion sites like http://www.zamzar.com/ or http://www.media-convert.com/ to upload your RAR and get the ZIP equivalent of the same.
