Installing applications that download as files?

[RainbowEyes]

I keep running into applications that I can't run because the installer downloads as separate files.

It'll have a file with all sorts of pieces to the program but nothing that brings it together to run it. If there is it's only an autorun- I try the autorun(.inf) and it says there's no application specified to run it.

I have run across these types of applications more times than I can count. Every time I can't find how to make them work, and so I have to give up on them. These programs I download ARE made for Macs, so it's very frustrating- I don't understand. My husband said those types simply can't be run on a mac.

Help?

Autorun.inf is a Windows file. It doesn't run on Mac OS X. Link to where you downloaded the files, and which files you downloaded? You most likely downloaded a Windows version instead of a Mac version.
