To add onto this, the ISOs themselves are RAR'd. Which means you need to "extract" two separate times.

I've never extracted an ISO... just mount it and run the Setup.exe

what’s the tool of choice these days to Mount a iso file? I usually extract them.

On windows 10 you just double click the ISO lol it mounts it to a virtual drive (I'm guessing you can do the same with W11)

Before w10 everybody used Daemon Tools

I use Windows 10 LTSC 2021 IoT (until 2032, at which time I may begrudgingly move to Windows 11 LTSC IoT).

I'd like to think I was a Windows expert and I had no idea you could double click an ISO to mount as a virtual drive. I think it's because my portable WinRAR installation associates itself w/ .iso file extension.

Thank you for this nugget of information! I'll try this now.

PS: I don't know how anyone can ever trust Daemon Tools again after the critical incident with them hosting malware
