AHHHHH.... .bin????

[air360]

alright, here is my problem....i have this program, and it has 9 files with the extensions .r00 - .r06, .rar, and .sfv. Thats it.....it had a readme and all it says is to burn it to a cd, install, and enjoy....
So i did just that , but i all i had on the cd was the exact files i had burnt....it said something about .bin/cue , i think that is the soulution but i have no idea how to burn it like that, or even what that is..i think it is suppose to compile all the files into one .exe and run as a program...please help me.

You need to get WinRar and unextract the program. You undoubtedly downloaded these from a newsgroup - you should go read the FAQ of the newsgroup, it would explain this.
You'll get a .bin and a .cue file, which you then have to burn with CDRWin.
Also, if "install" is correct in your question, then this really has nothing to do with video, but warez, which we don't deal with in this forum.

(unextract? What the heck was I thinking... Of course, I mean either "unpack" or "extract" :&gt

Get WinRar or WinACE, which both handle each others formats, nix Winzip, it's useless, and handles far less file extensions also. Extract the files from the .rar, not .r01, .r02, etc. etc.

Alright. Burning a Bin/Cue file is pretty easy. All a BIN file is, is a image of an entire cd. Just use CDRWin or Nero, select the Cue sheet, which points the burner at the BIN file, if you get an error, edit the cue sheet with notepad, and delete any path, just keep the bin's name between the " " ie. " blah.bin ", and make sure the bin/cue are in the same directory. Or an alternative way, would be to use WinImage, extract the files from the bin, use Easy CD Creator, select all of the files you extracted (note: don't forget any hidden files that 9X hides by default) and burn. It doesn't get much easier.

If you do it this way, you will loose the physical structural layout of the original CD image (very important if the original image was that of a VCD).
