The Internet download is an .ISO file, an "image" of the product CD. It is not a self-installing executable like many internet-downloadable programs. You will need a CD Burner and CD Burn software or a third party utility to extract files from an .ISO image. More details and instructions will be available on the web site prior to your download. If you have a connection to the Internet when installing Windows XP, please use the Dynamic Update option during setup. This will ensure that the very latest fixes are delivered to your machine prior to running setup. Pichard.
