What does it mean when a file is a 'ISO image, not exe'?

Thanks
Michael

210022 2004-01-26 04:48:00 It means that the file is an "image" file of a CD, which is intended to be recorded onto a writable CD. So you can't use it directly ("run" it). There are programmes which will let you access the files inside the .iso image. Graham L (2)
210023 2004-01-26 05:11:00 If you have trouble getting your head around that, then imagine that an ISO is like a "photo negative" of a CD.
Can't do much with it except produce another "photo". Thats all the ISO image is.
