You might be clicking on a file such as Install.ico, which is only a graphic
image file. Try clicking on some other Install named files.
Or change your settings in file explore to not hide extensions for known
file types.
If this is not what your problem is, you should be able to right click the
DVD or CD drive icon in "Computer" and get a choice to install or some such
thing.
