What are ISO images?

ISO images are images of a disk containing all files as well as boot files necessary for automatically launching the installation wizard. These files need to be burned to a disk specifically as an image, instead of a ‘data’ disk, which will extract the ISO into the required setup files. By burning the file to a disk as a data disk, you will simply end up with an .ISO file on the disk, which cannot be used for the installation. Once you downloaded the software, you will end up with the ISO file which by default is saved in the C:\temp folder.
