5536 2.58 gigs but only 14kb text file
I downloaded (from Microsoft) build 5536 last night (at 3mb's down. NICE).
Anyhow, it downloaded as a *.rar file which I thought was odd since my 5472 build was just an iso. When I used winrar to open the file, the ONLY thing it had in it was a 14kb text file. I'm somewhat miffed that I spent 3 hrs downloading a 2.58gb file, open it and only find a 14kb text file. Does anyone know what's going on here? -- "Though my soul may sit in darkness, it will rise in perfect light. I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night." ~ Sarah Williams

Hello QuickCheese,
The ISO uses the UDF file system, so when you attempt to browse it you will not see anything. You are going to have to burn it to dvd to see the contents of the ISO.

Hello,
The file you downloaded is an ISO file. You burn it to a DVD using a DVD burning tool such as Nero using the "Burn Image" command. DO NOT just burn it like a normal file - you MUST use the Burn Image command. It only appears to just contain a text file; it actually contains all the Windows files. -- - JB Windows Vista Support Faq http://www.jimmah.com/vista/
