    Use a free program called imgBurn, You need a blank CD also, install the program and the rest is pretty self explanatory.

    Here are the steps:

    1. Download a program called ImgBurn (person obove me showed the link)

    2. Double click on the .iso and burn it to a CDR or DVDR

    3. When it is done burning, insert the disk into your computer and use it like normal.

    You can also mount the .iso to a virtual drive so you do not have to burn anything. I recommend that you use Daemon Tools if you want to go this route. This is the link: http://www.daemon-tools.cc/home

    NOTE: Make sure that you burn the .iso by clicking on it, dont burn the actual .iso file

    You don't have to burn a CD with the ISO. If you have winrar it can open the ISO and extract the files out of it for you.

    First you will need to download a program called WinRAR in order to extract the files: http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar380.exe

    Once you have installed it, right click on the .iso file and click on "Extract files." WinRAR will open up and you can just save all the files anywhere you want. That's it. Follow the instructions in the readme.txt file and you should be able to install the game. There will probably be a file called "setup.exe" and that's what you need to run.

    YOU DO NOT NEED TO BURN IT TO A DISC.
