.img file

[billb]

dumb question - if ive downloaded a program i want to run and its downloaded as a .img file what do i do with it to get it to run?

thanks

Generally you burn it onto a CD or floppy, depending how big it is. What CD recording software have you got?

[billb]

roxio - is it just a case of copying it on there?

[tallbloke]

If it a bootable image ( like a new operating system, for example, Linux ) Then when you burn it to cd make sure you select the correct option to make it bootable.

its sharepoint server 2007 so not bootable so is it just a case of copying it to cd? i know i should know this!

No don't copy it to the cd as you will just end up with a cd containing a .img file. You need to find the burn image option in your CD burning software and point it at the .img file. It will take the contents of the .img and burn that to the cd.

MS is sending software out as .img files now?

software only does iso's so i need diff burning software i take it? img was only choice of download for this beta sware

[chrisjl]

Try it anyway - ISO files come with many different file extensions

[malman]

According to a few sites its just an ISO named .IMG so either rename it or point your iso burner at it and it should work

[billb]

hurrah it does thanks chaps

You can also get daemon tool and not bother burning it on to a disk.
