I downloaded a program and when i went to open it a small window with a blank, black background appeared for a split second then disappeared. How do i get this opened so i can install it?

if its a virus and he restarts he might not be able to boot
I say run a virus scan on it if you didn't already

.iso.exe is fine, just remove the .exe and burn as an image.

.zip.exe might be a self extracter but I wouldn't trust it. I thought this was in the blocked list anyway?
