    I have a folder with only 2 files. One is install.bin and the other is the software application file (.exe). Clicking the exe file does nothing. Searching I found that a cue file may be necessary but I did not get a cue file. Using Win7 Any help appreciated

    I was given the two files on a CD from my son in law. Don't know where he got it. He couldn't get it to work and neither can I. I am beginning to think there are some files missing. I was able to create a .cue file but it was not recognized as valid by MagicISO. The .exe file a a software program and not a game.

    Good guess!

    Right click on setup.exe and run as an admin
