We've been hired by a national to install an IP500 that they've pre-programmed for us. They've asked that we have a laptop on-site for the cutover just in case. I've downloaded the 8.0(44) software to three different PCs and cannot figure out how to get this software installed for the life of me.

The first time, I downloaded the compressed (zipped) version of it from Avaya's web site, unzipped the file and all I got was ten .BIN files that I can't get to do anything. They won't run individually for obvious reasons.

I did the same thing with my desktop PC running Windows NT. Same exact thing happened.

On another laptop, I downloaded the standard (non-compressed) version. In this case, I can't find the files at all. I know they are there because it took almost two hours to download. This laptop is using Windows 7 Starter Edition and I admit that I'm not very proficient with it.

Am I missing something?
