extracting iso image

As an MSDN subscriber, after downloading the iso image, I cannot extract it. It seems like the only file that extracts is the readme. Any ideas on what software will do the job? If you have any other tips I would appreciate it.

Don't extract it, burn the ISO image to DVD, then you will see the files

You need to use a program such as Nero or Roxio to "Burn Image to DVD" not just make a Data DVD. Conversely you could, using a DAEMON tool, create a virtual drive of the image. Andre has some good suggestions in his blog:

If you go to "www.nero.com" they now have version 7.2 that you can download from their site. Previous versions were unable to properly recognize the ISO file and successfully burn the image to DVD. Once you have the new version fully installed and after a system reboot, you simply place your blank DVD in. "Nero Start Smart" program will begin. Now this is where it might get tricky for a few people. Select at the top middle "DVD". Then select "Data" and "Make Bootable DVD". Still with me? Good. Now, 2 Windows will Pop-Up, the first is "Nero Burning ROM" and the 2nd smaller one is the "New Compilation". At the bottom- left you'll click on the ("OPEN..." Button). Now, just simply browse your computer using the next Window to where you saved the file from Microsoft. Double-click the file. Now the "Burn Compilation" Window will appear. On the "Burn" tab select "Write" & "Finalize disc" & select the slowest "Write Speed". To see that you have the correct info there should be a "GREEN" indicator at the bottom showing you that you have approx. 3200MB of info to burn. Now the last step,and I know you're anxious, is to simply click on the "BURN" button at the bottom of the "Burn Compilation" Window. Now you can go have a coffee break with a friend and try to be patient.
I hope that this post is helpful to at least one person out there. ENJOY!!!

well i both burnt it to a dvd and loaded it on a virtual drive but still the only file visible is the readme.txt that says i need a os capable of reading UDF disks well duh i thought winXP was able to read UDF discs that and the fact i use nero 7 and InCD 5 both of witch are capable of reasing and writing UDF type discs "Mark D.
