the new vista iso download

Is there any way to "convert" or whatever is needed to be done to install the download by us poor folks who have a DVD player but not a burner without ordering the disk from Microsoft?

Good news! There is a very easy way to do that. Virtual Drive Emulation! Just look for, and download a program called DAEMON Tools. It lets you mount the image to a VIRTUAL DVD Burner. You can install from there (from what I hear at least)

Just be sure to deselect the search bar option when installing it - otherwise you will get spyware.

I personally used Daemon Tools 4.03 and NERO Image drive to install Vista x64 and x86 respectively. You can also extract the contents of the ISO image using ISO Buster to a folder in your existing operating system and launch setup from there. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

The daemontools that I downloaded via the link on Zack's VistaBase web site did *not* work for me on an NT 4 system: only the readme.txt file was visible when the image was mounted. My solution was to move the dvd image to my Fedora Core 5 machine, do a "mount -t udf -o loop", extract the files to a samba share and then do the install from an expendible XP machine over the network. Worked just fine.
