If you want to open the .img files, you can use the 7-zip, which is freeware.
http://www.7-zip.org/
Once installed, right-click on this relevant image file, hover over "7-zip", then click "Open Archive". Bear in mind, you need to separate the program, or Windows 7 to burn this image to disc!
Hope this helps!
