You need to first rename the file from exe to .iso, in order to burn it to disc.

Uh...adthomp, in this very forum you will probably see my Nero burner wont open thread! I am sorry, but I haven't been able to use my WinXPProCorp iso yet either! ha ha
Do a search, there is bound to be a thread on this!
Sorry I can't help you further, it would be the blind leading the blind! :huh:
I am gonna try using ClonCD to burn it now... :(

Download WINiso 5.5 from kazaa and burn an iso onto your hdd, make sure you make it bootable for those who want it bootable.

You said it's already extracted, so burn the extracted files to a CD. That's all there is to it.
