forster Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 First of all - tsk tsk, naughty boy, thats illegal you know... Second, the exe may be a self extracting zip file - right click on it and see if you can extract it. The download of Longhorn is usually a self extracting zip or an ISO disk image. Also, unless it is a second gen release, or a hacked repackage, you probably wont be able to boot from it unless you hack it yourself. The final thing, of course, is that you have downloaded a duff file and it doesnt work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniacidz Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 I would say is a duff file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolme Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 I got a 434 MB .exe file.... Longhorn 4051 is more then 1 GB, that's why it's on a DVD. (I think windows XP is bigger then 434MB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm7 Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Longhorn 4051 is more then 1 GB, that's why it's on a DVD.
