    What to do with a program in .bin file?

    After dowloading 5 rar files and unpacking them, I got the program (Omnipage*7) in a .bin file.
    How shold I proceed to install it?
    (I am using Vista Home)
    Thanks for your help.

    .bin files have too many uses to list them all but CD images and ROMs seem to be the two biggest users. AVG (and possibly other Avs) use them, windows uses them (ex: mib.bin which appears to be for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). I even found a bin file in my printer's driver directory. So they're used pretty much everywhere and can be looked at in the same way as a file with no extension, which has multiple purposes. The main reason each program won't just come up with their own is probably to avoid using extensions that are used by other programs. So "less important" binary files are usually just named .bin to avoid hassle.
