So what can i do vegas ..I wrote all suffix to end of the rar files but problem is the same..
I read something and i found..

JESUS CHRIST!! I FINALLY got this thing working!
For those who are new to the setup(or whatever that puzzle i had to do to get Albino actually installed was called)

I got 4 zip folders and 2 individual files in the folder i "unrar"ed. Just highlight every folder and then unzip. As guessed youd end up with 4 unzipped folders. Just go to each of the unzipped folders and drag its contents to the folder that had the 4 zip folders. You should get a "replace existing file message"; i DID NOT replace anything. If it had the same name i figured it was the same thing to Begin. After you drag all the contents out of each of the 4 unzipped files you should notice another rar file. Now would be the time to unrar with whatever you use. I tried to unrar while the file was still in its unzipped folder; It created an "unmountable Image file" and gave me an error; so as far as i can tell this particular rar needs all the files from all of the zip directories in order to extract a good "Mountable Image file". If you "unrar"ed successfully youll get 3 pdf's as well.
After that everything is smooth sailing. Mount the image, and click the installer. I wonder why the posters just dont rar the image file or installer..

Anyways it sounds like these files can vary, this is just what I had to do to get the dam thing working.

I imagine as opposed to a corrupt image file that won't mount.
