I'm trying to install a program, but it doesnt include an auto installer so I'm at a loss of how to do it. It includes 2 files - a large .bin file and a much smaller .cue file. Help?

there are 3 ways in which to do this..

1) Grab a copy of ISOBUSTER (or another ISO editing tool) and copy the contents of the .BIN to a folder on the desktop and click setup.exe
2) get a higher level burning program (NERO, Alcohol 60, alcohol 120, etc etc) and burn the .CUE to a cd (actually the .cue only points to the .BIN)
3) get a free program called daemon tools. This program will make something called a virtual drive. What it does is basically emulates a cd drive, with the cd in it, only that the cd in it is actually the .bin file on your hard drive. I use daemon tools for everything from games to movies that i have backed up as opposed to using a cd all of the time.

and since this is a bin/cue and you have no idea, i am going to have to assume that you are probably installing an illegal program. for the sake of knowing, above is how to do it. But i certainly hope that what yoru installing is not illegal in any way.
