Games that can be downloaded from the Internet are usually distributed in three formats: images, desks, and installation files. To install a game downloaded from the Internet in one format or another, you need to perform actions specific to the format.
Necessary
Daemon Tools and WinRAR may be required
Instructions
Step 1
Games and any programs in the “.iso” format are images. To install images on your computer, you need the Daemon Tools program. Daemon Tools can be downloaded from the Internet or installed from a disc - the program is often distributed on discs with software.
With the help of it, after installation, an additional virtual CD-ROM is created in My Computer. Next to the clock, in the tray, an icon will appear in the form of a disk with a lightning bolt. Click on it with the right mouse button, select "Mount Image" and in the explorer window that appears, find the file of the downloaded game in the ".iso" format. After mounting the disk, which takes a few seconds, go to "My Computer" and start the virtual disk by double-clicking on it with the left mouse button.
Step 2
The desks are a game divided into many archives. Archives are usually in “.rar” or “.zip” format, they are the same size, for example, 200 MB each.
To install the game, you first need to unpack the desks. To do this, you need the shareware WinRAR program, download it from the Internet and install it. Archives (game desks) will take the form of a stack of books. To unpack the game, right-click on the first desk (usually its name ends with “00” or “01”) and select “Extract files”. Wait for 100% extraction and install the game. In most cases, the extracted game will turn out to be an ISO image. Then see step one.
Step 3
Finally, the installation files are a regular installation file, by double-clicking on it with the left mouse button, the game installation window will appear.
In this case, the game is installed as usual - let the installation be indicated, the process of installation and recording to the hard disk takes place and the installation is completed. Usually, small-volume games are posted on the Internet in this format. The installation files are in most cases in the “.exe” format.
