Running a *.run file

[Greenlizard0]

How do I do this?

I have downloaded Virtual Box for all distrubtions and have received the file labelled : VirtualBox-2.2.2-46594-Linux_amd64.run.

What do I do with this in Win Vista 64?

Edit - delete - I've downloaded the wrong file

I got "hosts" confused - I went to the Linux page thinking it referred to the fact that I wanted the program to run Linux distros in it. Not that the virtualisation runs itself..

I'm getting a strange error in virtual box now - I have loaded up an Ubuntu 8.04.iso distro onto it. It seemed to crash or hang weirdly, and I just about managed to shut it down. Now when I try to load it up it results in this error :

Result Code:
E_INVALIDARG (0x80070057)
Component:
VirtualBox
Interface:
IVirtualBox {779264f4-65ed-48ed-be39-518ca549e296}

Does anybody know what's up with it?
