How to install software downloaded from the Microsot Azure Dev Tools for Teaching site

Some software downloaded from the Microsoft Azure Dev Tools site are in the form of .iso files. It is not necessary to burn these files to a CD or DVD in order to install the software.

.iso files can be “extracted” to get to individual files, like the setup.exe installer file, using a free program like 7-Zip:

1) download and install the free program named 7-Zip:

http://www.7-zip.org/

2) right-click the .iso file downloaded from the Microsoft Azure Dev Tool software site, move the mouse pointer over 7-Zip, click Extract files…

right_click_extract_files

3) click OK

extract_ok

7-Zip will “extract” the contents of the .iso file and leave you with a folder full of files.

4) double-click the just-created-folder, double-click the installer file (usually setup.exe) to run through the software installation
