I tried that, but my (somethat elder version of) WinZip said it is not a ZIP 
file.


Today, I downloaded the ISO file, which in fact is a ZIP file containing the 
ISO image. (Luckily this is not also a self-extracting archive). WinZip 
unzipped the ZIP, gave me an ISO file, which WinZip again unzipped into the 
desired folder structure. Voila ;-)
