Been a while since I've played BSM (hard to believe it's up to v. 1.8!), and I downloaded the three parts, used 7zip to decompress them (I assumed that it combined the three parts into one automatically - the iso image is 584 MB in size), and then I burned the iso image onto a CD. I double-click on it and my Win 7 64-bit operating system informs me that it can't find the program to open it up with.
I've installed two different free virtual drive programs (I went to use Daemon Tools Lite, but caught multiple comments that it now comes with spyware, so I won't be using that used-to-be-awesome program anymore).
The two that I tried were:
osfmount_x64
Virtual Clone Drive 5450
I couldn't get them to recognize the iso (since this is the first time I'm using these programs, maybe I did something wrong? Hard to know...).
Then I read that one could just use 7zip to open up iso images, and this I did. I could see the following:

Redist
Set
Autorun.inf
Setup.exe
Whats_new.txt

So I clicked on Setup.exe and the nifty BSM windowed installer started running. Cool, right? Through its GUI, I select "Install English patch" because that box was unchecked (maybe it should be, as I'm using the Amazon.com digital download version of 7.62, and it might already be patched), and then I click the auto-installer to proceed. After several seconds I get this error message:

What's going on? I'm very eager to dive into the latest build and this is holding me up.
Any
DETAILED advice is
GREATLY appreciated!
