I'm looking at upgrading to VS 2008 Pro so I downloaded the trial edition and
got the file VS2008ProEdition90dayTrialENUX1435622.iso (CD/DVD image file).
I'm running Vista Ultimate and there are no programs that I can find that
will open this file so I can not install the trial version.

How does MS expect this to be handled?????

Also, I saw some comments that suggested that the trial version is not the
same as the actual version.

The download web site leads you to believe that they are the same except the
trial version doesn't need the product key for 90 days. What's the story
here?????

I don't want to have to reinstall this package.

Thanks, Neil

An ISO is a CD or DVD image. You must either burn it to a DVD using burn
software capable of burning an image to disk (the utility that comes with
Vista cannot do it), or obtain optical drive emulation software that will
create a virtual drive where you can mount the ISO, then install it.

For alternatives, look here:

As you suggested I found "UnDisker" software that did the job by burning it
to DVD.

Thanks, Neil
