Mindboards

Is this an actual executable download? I've tried downloading the software in the past, but I got something I needed to run in a virtual CD drive, which didn't work at all. Is that what this is too?

This is a 'CD image', which you can either run on virtual CD software or burn onto a disk using something like ImgBurn.

Once on a disk you just run it like any other installation CD.

Good point.

An alternative approach to installing from the .iso image is to extract the contents to a folder and run the installer from there. (Programs such as 7-zip can do this, just try to open the .iso file in 7-zip in exactly the same way as a ordinary .zip file.)

And on a mac you can use disk mounter utility, just double click the iso. If you're on snow leopard, you'll need to use the patch ( here for instructions: http://mindstorms.lego.com/en-US/News/R ... ?id=351333 )

I used DAEMON Tools Lite (alternate download link).

My personal favorite mounting utility is Virtual CloneDrive. http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html

The Link to the LEGO MINDSTORMS 2.0 Programming Software on the LEGO Homepage is not working anymore. Therefore I have set up a alternate Download location here.

You can download the LEGO MINDSTORMS 2.0 Programming language here: http://mindboards.org/downloads/MINDSTO ... %202.0.iso

Hi;

I contacted Lego via Lego Mindstorms - Contact Us to request Lego 9695 Building Instructions (BI), and they not only send me all BI but algo the download links to Lego NXT-G 2.1 Educational Version.
