    First of all, I'm assuming those programs are legal. That's why I'm trying to give you advice.



    Second, you need to burn them as an image, you will need both the .cue and the .bin file for that.



    Third, you can use some software that is similar to Alcohol 120% in the Windows side of things, to mount the .bin file as a virtual drive and then just double click the drive for installation.



    And the last thing , I'm assuming (yet again) that these things are legal. It's good for Karma.

    HA legal is in the eyes of the beholder! anyways seems you got some pc files use whatever burning software you have on your mac to copy both bin and cue files, if you have dvd burner just pop them all on a dvd. then load them into a pc and use nero to burn from img file read cue files and burn each individual cd and then just mount the iso dmg's you get?! or you can use a windows prog called winiso or majic iso and convert your .bin files into iso and use either app or nero to burn images to cd. but if what you DL'd is what I think it is it will turn out to be windows files anyway, there are tut's out there to turn the 7 .bin files into a dvd and if I'm right the collection you are looking for is 6 .bin files.



    enjoy
