I purchased Windows 7 from Microsoft via their student website. Yesterday i received an email saying my download was ready. The download is a .exe that installs a download manager that allows you to download the operating system. However, after using the download manager to download the files all i get are two files titled: Setup1.box and Setup2.box. Does anyone know how to extract these so I can install Windows 7? Do you know if this extracts into an .iso or disc image?

Thanks for your help.

This is a known issue and MS is working on a fix.
