Installing downloaded file help please!?

Question

I downloaded zoo tycoon 2 + all expansions in one pck/download and these are the instructions given with it:
step 1) to install Zoo Tycoon 2 run setup from [Zoo Tycoon 2 folder]

step 2) to install African adventure mount the "rld-ztaa.iso" from [Zoo Tycoon 2 - African Adventure folder]

step 3) to install Zoo Tycoon 2 - Marine Mania mount "ZT2-MM.mds" from [Zoo Tycoon 2 - Marine Mania folder]

step 4) to install Zoo Tycoon 2 - Endangered Species mount "Zoo.Tycoon.2.Endangered.Species.cue" from [Zoo Tycoon 2 - Endangered Species folder]

step 4) to install Zoo Tycoon 2 Extinct Animals mount "rld-z2ea.cue" from [Zoo Tycoon 2 - Extinct Animals folder]

To run the game :-
mount the image "rld-z2ea.cue" from [Zoo Tycoon 2 - Extinct Animals folder]

Obviously i understand the first step, but what is mounting, i know you use daemontools for it and i have seen the mount button, but how do you use it? and where exactly do i mount these files to does anyone know? and why does the last one say mount the image and the others dont? Any help would be greatly appriciated
Thanks :)

Mount I believe means "to put" or "place" that file where they ask and then to run it from there.

So for example on step two I believe it means take the "rld-ztaa.iso" that is located in from [Zoo Tycoon 2 - African Adventure folder] and then click right click "run" or right click on that "rld-ztaa.iso" to install it.

Typically I only ever hear the word mount being used when doing installations if a Mac is involved. In which case after you double click on the "rld-ztaa.iso" you should see a new window open up that says mount as well. It will likely prompt you to drag that file to a location where it can installed.

OK, thief, you mount an ISO using a virtual drive. Go get CloneDrive from http://www.elby.ch/fun/software/index.ht…
Either right click the ISO and select mount or double click it.. and so on.

OR get ImgBurn and burn them to a disk and run them from there.
