basic installation procedure question locating keys

Basic installation procedure question, locating keys

I am new to downloading/installing Vista beta OS images, and need some very basic guidance. Build 5384 downloaded without incident; however, it is a file type .ISO and doesn't self-install when double-clicked. So does it needs to be burned to a DVD, or is there another app that will do install the image for me?
Also, I just want to confirm that Ultimate 5384 uses the key category "Vista Ulitmate 5270 and up Product Keys".

To install 5384, you need keys from 5342 and up. I use http://www.daemon-tools.cc or NERO Image drive. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

You have to burn the iso (as DVD image, don't burn it as a file) then boot on this DVD. About keys, I read on microsoft.public.windows.vista.general you need a key for at least 5365 and up, so you'll have to generate a new key on microsoft connect.
