The file you've downloaded is a one-on-one mirror of a CD image.
That means, don't drag-or-drop it or you'll end up with a file
called 4.6-install.iso on your CD instead of the directory layout
you expect(*). Tell your software to treat the file as an ISO image
and you'll end up with the directory layout you expect.

(*) Don't laugh, already two people I know have had this happen to them.
