vista question.

Hi

I have a problem with the install of windows vista. I reieved my
acceptance email for the beta, followed the msdn download links. I installed
Winfix Runtime Components beta 2, and ran setup.exe for win 32 shelf extrator
for the beta, and installed the SDK components setup for vista. Then I
downloaded the vista file. Everything installed ok, except the vista
file.Windows displayed a message, unable to open this file type, so it
suggested the website Irfan View. I downloaded the software, and tryed to
open the file. a message appeared, cannot read file header. So, I clicked
file menu, open, IMG file type, in the folder. it found the file, so I
clicked open, and the same message appeared, so I need help.

OK ) Have a good read through here:

It tells you how to get started, how to install Vista and how to get going
in general with the new OS.
