Hello Bob,
See:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/aa718401.aspx
The instructions under "Manually Installing an Express Edition on a
local machine" give detailed information about working with *.img files.
You will need to install 3rd party software to work with the *.img file.
I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

I too have tried my best to get an answer from Microsoft regarding the
installation problem of which you speak. Nothing on the Microsoft web
site,
no help from phone support - just a convoluted web help with trails
which all
lead nowhere. No explanation from Microsoft why the trial download is
an
.img file, which accomplishes nothing. I really would like to install
the
trial, but Microsoft continues to be so large it can't even help
itself, let
alone potential customers. If anyone finds an answer, that would be
great.

Leanne,
Ha. We aren't the only ones who've seen this problem. I called MS
support
and the Indian I spoke to said he wasn't able to help with
installations or
trial versions. I pointed him to the webpage where MS gives a number
to call
for help on the Project trial. What a waste.
Now then... it turns out there are 2 separate MS places where you can
download MS Project 2007 trial software. Neither work.
If you go to the downloads area you get the problem you cited. In
our
situation the .img file kept launching some image processing software
(PaintShopPro) which promptly said the file was the wrong format and
that was
that. We wasted two days with that .img file.
The second way to download the Project 2007 trial is from the trials
area.
This, too, is fraught with disaster. Once you get the file onto your
desktop
(it's a .exe file) you can launch it and it starts an installer
process which
at first makes you think it might be installing Office 2007 (it said
nothing
about Project), but we tried it anyway. It claimed it installed the
Project
2007 trial, gave me the same code key it gave me before for the .img
file
nonsense, and that was that. I've looked all over my computer and
cannot
find the stupid trial software. I ran the .exe program again which
brought
up an opportunity to add or remove portions of the Project software,
I let it
run to completion again, same thing. No desktop icon. No folder or
file in
Program Files anywhere that appears to hold MS Project. None of the
MS
folders have the software. What are these people thinking?
There's a free Java program called GannttProject which can
import/export MS
Project files. It works. We're stuck with that for the moment.
It's slow
and hard to use, with poor documentation, but WAYGTD? Until MS
cleans up its
act, at least you'll have something. What fascinates me is that
other people
seem to have gotten the trial version, which makes me think MS
updated
something recently and that may explain the problems we've
experienced. As
if that makes it any better.

I downloaded a free trial version of Project Pro 2007 Win32
Internal PSS.
The downloaded file had a .img extension that I have been unable to
work
with.
The install instructions on the download page linked from my
invoice say to
burn the file to a CD and then run it from there - using Easy CD
Creator that
did not work. Each time it was requested that I down load the
IrfanView
program to run this .img file. I did that but then get the
following error
C:\DOCUME~1\leanne\LOCALS~1\Temp\ProjectProfessional.img : Can't
read file
header !
Unknown file format or file not found!
I then tried converting to a ISO file using MagicISO and then
burning to a
CD. The new CD now comes up with the error:
D:\PrjPror.WW\OSETUP.DLL digital signature does not validate or is
not
present.
Any assistance anyone can give would be wonderful.
