I would like to know what the difference between ISO and EXE files is. EXE is a program but I dont know what ISO is. Any help is appreciated.

not exactly.

Short for International Organization for Standardization. Note that ISO is not an acronym; instead, the name derives from the greek word iso, which means equal. Founded in 1946, ISO is an international organization composed of national standards bodies from over 75 countries. For example, ANSI (American National Standards Institute) is a member of ISO. ISO has defined a number of important computer standards, the most significant of which is perhaps OSI (Open Systems Interconnection), a standardized architecture for designing networks.

Thanks for the information.

In terms of files, though, it generally refers to a iso9660 image, which is a CD image. ;)
