A "friend of mine" downloaded some software off the tinterweb which was received in a rar format. Using WINRAR, this has been convered to .BIN file. How does he/she convert from here to be able to run this application. Have searched for conversion from .BIN to .EXE (I am assuming it will have to be .exe as as mentioned, it is a piece of software). going crazy with it and advice would be appreciated.:mad:

Just change the .bin to .iso and then extract

.bin and .iso are the same.

You can extract it with a program like MagicISO http://www.magiciso.com/download.htm or burn it directly with Nero.
