sup, there is only a ISO content, so that's why is rar, and non bootable of course You have to create a home made bootable iso image
The torrent looks legit. My download has finished so I'm off to play with it If you're interested, I put a list of the .rar contents on pastebin ...I can't post links so google for 9200.16384.120725-1247_x64fre_enterprisen_en-us_VL_EnterpriseN-NONBOOT_DVD.rar and you'll see it.
I think the better may to setup it is not trying to make the ISO bootable. I'll use a method I'm using since Vista : have the files from the iso extracted on flash drive/external HD/non-system partition. After that, boot from "Repair computer" if you're running Vista/7, or Command prompt on Win 8 (Shift+F8 after POS, Advanced option, Command prompt). For Vista/7, Select repair with Advanced Tools (something like that...) and open command prompt. Now in the three case, you can open "install.exe" located on sources folder to launch setup. Note you can also use command prompt from 64 bits DVD of Vista/7/8. I love this solution, cause it save burning time to DVD and speed up setup! (also work with existing VM : just attach external drive to it )
2h until I'm done with the download. I'm leaving my PC for the night so I'll seed for the time being. Cheers.
So thats confirmed then? Can you explain if you have any way to activate? Or can we install without key for 30 days?

I had asked what was missing, I missed the info where it says WMP10 is not present in the N edition. It's going to be tough to decide whether to go Enterprise or OEM, a I would rather download the 'right' one to start with in terms of not... 'having' activation issues who said loader? did I say loader?
