From rapidshare or megaupload or from any other server you downloaded .rar file. And now whenever you unrar/uncompress it you get a file with an extention of .iso. Now how you will run that or make it install the file or to see the contents of the .iso file.
In fact an iso file is a disk image of an optical disk(CD/DVD). ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization.
An iso file contains the image of disk which means it contains all the files and folders that were on that disk, much like a zip or cab file contains a collection of files and folders. The real difference is that an iso is a byte-for-byte copy of the low-level data actually stored on a disk.
In order to run the iso file you need a software that can read .iso file. You can think it as just like winrar, as winrar can read a file that have .rar extentions or just like unzip, ad unzip can read a file that have .zip extentions.
There are lots of software that can run iso files. The most common is CloneCD, CDRWIN, MagicISO etc.
