Default 5536 *.rar 2.58gb file turned into 14kb text file.

Downloaded this from microsoft's website. The file is 2.58gigs and came in
an *.rar file. When opened, it only contained a 14kb text file which seemed
meaningless. Can anyone help? Has anyone experienced this same problem?

Disable WinRar. The download is not a compressed .iso file. It is an image
which you burn to disc.
