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?
There are two .exe files at the root of the DVD: openSUSE12_2_LOCAL.exe openSUSE12_2_NET.exe (this was from a 12.1 x86-64 DVD) I'm guessing you could start an install from an up-and-running Windows. I've never done it that way. I would suspect a badly burned DVD if the media check fails. Maybe a bad DVD drive? I've certainly seen that happen!
