Hey VG, The Microsoft* Org says that the download(x64) will be an ISO file and when the download completed I saw that it was a WinZIP file. When I tried to extract them with WinZIP it occurs an err and when with WinRAR it says something like that some files already exists in the directory.
What's the problem? I can't understand what is it? Please HELP me.
And also thanks for sharing your "The best vista website of 2008" award winning 'www.AskVG.com' with us. You should be proud of yourself, sir.
Please solve my question. I will be looking for your reply. Thanks...
Rohan
Hey VG, The download isn't an ISO file it is a WinZIP file and can't extract.
Please I need your help...I am looking forward to your answer...
VG
^^ Disable "Hide extensions of known file types" option in "Folder Options" and then check what is the extension of downloaded file.
Rohan
VG,
:( Thanks for your answer but the prob still occurs though I disabled "Hide extensions of known file types".
The downloaded WinZIP file has 5 folders(boot, efi, sources, support, upgrade), 1 app(Setup.exe) and 3 others(autorun.inf, bootmgr, bootmgr.efi)
Thanks for your quick reply, I will do everything you say...please support me with another solution...Thanks... I will be waiting...Thanks...
VG
^^ Its fine. The file is showing all required files and folders. Use 7-Zip to extract it and then run setup.exe file to install it.
Rohan
