I decided to give openSUSE a try to see how it is. I used SuSE some years back and drifted away. I downloaded 12.1-64 and burned the DVD [ properly ]. Was a bit surprised to discover that there was a Windows exe file to install.
I have never had to install any Windows file to install any version on Linux. Where did you get the ISO file from?
Hi, try this link instead
http://software.opensuse.org/121/en
select direct download select 64bit Hit download dvd
When you burn it, make sure your software recognizes its burning a dvd Oops, meant to say, make sure it recognizes its burning an iso file.
When you go to install it, select key f12 or whatever is appropriate on your computer on initial boot to get to the boot order menu in the bios. It always tells which key to hit in the bios screen which flashes up at first boot. Select boot from cdrom from the bios menu, and hit enter making sure that the dvd is in the drive ready to run.
When the dvd loads its first menu on the screen, select Install, and you will be on your way.
Here is a guide for installation for 11.4, but it is just about exactly similar for 12.1. I can't find a similar guide for 12.1 in the service database, but they all say about the same basic things for each version.

Have fun!
