Xxxx.iso.exe ?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: evil homer
Hello peeps,
I have a couple of files that end in '.iso.exe' but I dont know what to do with them??
If I click it, it opens a DOS box that shuts again very quickly, saying something about being 'Program is too big to fit in memory' I'm on XP
It wont open if I rename to Zip or Rar (has worked before)
I would be very grateful for any tips :-)
Thank you!

Just delete the .exe
and than burn it with Nero or any other burning program

i think he has to chaneg the file extention first change the exe to ISO
czo im not sure if nero will read it as an iso unless its named like that

if it is named .iso.exe and you delete the .exe than you will have .iso, otherwise you'll have .iso.iso :rolleyes: :P

Thanks for the replies guys!
Just tried it and burnt to a CD, but the CD just comes up blank :unsure:
Arg!
Have you got anymore suggestions?
If this had have worked why would anyone rename an ISO to an EXE?
Many thanks! :)

U shouldn't have burned it to cd without opening it up with WinIso if nothing happens then there is nothing there if it is just extract it, if it's a program just run the setup.

It's possible that he got a coaster. Mount it to a virtual drive.

Could it be a self-extracting archive of an ISO?
Otherwise, why would the source name it as an exe?

So kazaa finds it in a software search.
Just change the extension as mentioned, then go to any of the following.

Why would they wanna do it again when they are already doing it?
BTW, use daemon tools to mount iso.exe onto virtual drives, always works for me
