powerISO is software primarily for managing CD/DVD content, isn't it? I'm not really familiar with it but I don't know why it would even be involved in the process. Windows should recognize .bin and .exe files. Double-clicking the .exe file should start the installation program and that's what needs access to the .bin files, you don't need to open the .bin files yourself. You don't need to do anything with them except save them to the same folder the .exe file is in.

At what point in the process are you getting this message? What are you trying to do when it pops up?

You need to download all 8 files in the list in my first reply. But you don't click on any of the .bin files. You don't have to open them or run them or do anything other than save them all in the same folder with the GXW3.exe file.

When you have all 8 files saved to the same folder, double-click the GXW3.exe file. That's the only file you need to click on.

One more question - are you actually saving all the files to your own computer, or clicking "Run" or "Open" when you hit the Download button and the box pops up asking what you want to do?
