Vista - Extracting ISO?

How do I get the ISO file I downloaded to extract?

You don't. You either use your DVD software to "burn the image" to a DVD,
or to create a virtual DVD that can be mounted using some version of Daemon
tools.

You shouldn't need to extract it you should be able to burn it as an image.

But there is ISObuster and Winrar will do it if you insist on extracting it.

What in the world is your need to "extract the ISO" to get Vista up and
running on your box?

So that he has access to the installation files without having to burn a dvd
just to turn around copy the files to the hard drive afterwards. You can
extract the .iso with winrar.

Corey--

I've seen that mentioned when people first tried to use early builds of
Vista in threads, but I don't see the advantage to doing that except that
what was mentioned--Pro Networks discussed that on their site as well, was a
faster setup time early on when they were slower.

What are advantages or needs to extract the iso? One would be if you don't
have a DVD writer, but there you can mount the iso using VM ware or you
could use virtual machine.
