HELP INSTALLING MS PRO X64 TRIAL VERSION

I PERFORMED THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS:

1. DOWNLOAD THE ISO FILE FROM MS DOWNLOAD CENTER.
2. CUT A DATA CD USING NERO
3. ATTEMPTED TO LOAD CD BUT CD WON'T START
4. USED EXPLORER TO EXECUTE SETUP.EXE

PROBLEM: THERE IS NO SETUP.EXE ON THE CD. ONLY THE ORIGINAL ISO
FILE THAT WAS DOWNLOADED FROM MICROSOFT IS ON THE CD.
These actions are in accordance with the Microsoft e-mail
instructions.

What am I doing wrong? What is suppose to generate the SETUP.exe on the CD.
Thanks.

You should use the "Burn Image to Disc" option, not create a data disk from
the iso file.

This is in the Copy and Backup options in StartSmart, or Recorder - Burn
Image in Nero Burning ROM v6.

Dominic is correct - you need to burn the ISO as an image. For a good set of
generic instructions on burning ISO's to CD, try these:

as the others said, and please don't shout (use capitals), there's no need
and it's rude.
