Embarrassed about this but I am going nuts trying to find where the
downloaded Vista iso went on my hard drive. I tried using the search
function but keep coming up empty. I used "free download manager" and
wherever is default is where it is at. Where is it? Thanks ahead of time for
replies.

turn hidden folders on and have a new look, some vista folders are hidden
that were visible in previous builds.

Did you choose the "Software" option for the download type? Perhaps you
downloaded the page instead.

Thank you all, found it. Shows 2.52GB in a WINRAR format. I hope that is the
correct one.

I had the vefy same issue.
I downloaded both X86 and X64 and the download manager recognized their
existance but they were missing...totally.
Searched with no results.
Made corrections to IE7 as mentioned by another user, still not there.
Someone mentioned that it may have been put into a side folder or "Sandbox".
Vista lost it.
When I tried to download a second time, the D/L manager found them and
asked" File already Exists, Would you like to overwrite file"?

Finally, I deceided to stop trying to download one version of Vista, (RC-1),
from another version of Vista,
(Pre RC-1), and downloaded it from my XP build.
The files were available immediately and I burned them to DVD with no
issues.
The X64 version, although larger than the X86 version loaded quickly with no
issues.

It has the winrar icon, because you have set winrar to handle iso-files, but
winrar cannot use this file other than open it.

You can load it in winrar to have a look into the iso, but you should nor
change/Add/remove any files from the iso.
That will destroy the Image and make the DVD unbootable or causing BSODS at
a later time.
Burn this straight away with your BurningProgram -> Image to Disk.
