The file is NOT corrupt. Burn the iso image using IMGBURN to a cd and voila. You have a game. Just install it from the cd.

For some reason, I cannot load up the iso file to VirtualBox or any other method, because it says that the image is corrupted? I have no idea why that is, but is getting annoying to try and find ways to fix it when I want to do is play an old game from my childhood.

All you have to do to is extract the zip, change the .iso to a .rar, and extract with 7zip.
once extracted, open the INSTALL directory, and doubleclick install.exe.
For best results install on windows 7 or XP.

If there are any GNU/Linux users out there, I've got two methods you can use to read this weird image.
Method #1: there's the Unarchiver (unarciver.org). To use this program just type (without quotes) 'unar Oregon.Trail.v5.iso', and this will extract the ISO to ./Oregon.Trail.v5/.
Method #2: FuseISO (sourceforge.net/projects/fuseiso/) can mount this ISO to any arbitrary directory, provided that FUSE is installed, and the user has read+write+execute permissions to said directory. Since it's a FUSE-based mounter, it doesn't require root to use. (Do note: I tried mounting this without fuseiso using the 'mount' command, and it failed.) Here's how you do it (again, no quotes): 'fuseiso Oregon.Trail.v5.iso [directory]'. Be sure to replace '[directory]' with an actual directory.
Once you've got access to the files in this image, you can then use something like genisoimage or mkisofs to make a 'normal' ISO file. (You might want to use '-l' or '-J' to avoid truncating the files to 8.3 filenames. Alternatively, you could use UDF, but I don't recommend that for anyone who plans on mounting this into a virtual machine running an old version of Windows.) You may also be able to run this program from WINE, although I have not tested this.
BTW, when I ran this game, I got some weird TLC launcher-thing that didn't seem to work. To work around this, just go to the installation directory (probably 'C:Program FilesThe Learning CompanyOregon Trail 5' if you installed it on an old Windows (virtual) machine), and execute 'ot5.exe'.

Windows 10 has difficulties opening many perfectly good ISO files and will not open any BIN/CUE files that I have seen thus far.
PowerISO CD Emulator much better then MS and works on most ISO & BIN/CUE files.

every time I try and download it on my PC it takes me to other sites for something else, I remember playing this game as a kid and want to give it another go please fix that problem!
GiSWiG2019-02-054 points
Here is how to get it to work and not need the CD to play (I hate using CDs when I can):
Use ImgBurn (free) to burn the ISO. Yes, others have said this too.
You can then use ImgBurn to make an ISO of the CD you just burned to have a valid ISO.
To play without installing AND to play on Windows 10:
1. Create a folder on your hard drive where you want to run the game from, for example C:GamesOT5. This path CANNOT have spaces!
2. Copy the DATA folder from the CD/ISO to C:GamesOT5
3. Copy the Oregon5.Eng and Oregon5.Fst from the HD folder on the CD/ISO to C:GamesOT5
4. Copy the three files, binkw32.dll, OREGON5.INI, OT5.EXE from the HDWin folder on the CD/ISO to C:GamesOT5
You should now have the Data folder and the five files listed above in C:GamesOT5
5. Edit the C:GamesOT5OREGON5.INI. Add 'rsrcpath=C:GamesOT5Data' minus quotes under the [cdrom] tag. It should look like this:
[cdrom]
rsrcpath=C:GamesOT5Data
This worked for me on two Win10 x64 PCs. No compatibility settings were needed. If it doesn't work, make sure the path you put the game under (i.e. C:GamesOT5) and the rsrcpath in the INI file match AND the rsrcpath is the path to the game folder WITH 'Data' at the end. Remember, NO SPACES in the path.
This also gets past installing the annoying and irrelevant launcher the standard installer installs.

Thanks for program and esp. thanks to those who gave the info to use the iso and Imgburn to get these running, now to get that pesky #3 to work
Tinsel Bird2019-01-311 point
After trying some of the iso burners and having errors, I used ImgBurn. Worked perfectly with a burnable disc. Now I'm enjoying this silly fun game again!

If unable to open the file after downloading use Winiso to open
After you install the game this will let you bypass the TLC Launcher that will crash
Go to C:Program Files (x86) open the folder The Learning Company you will c to folders Oregon Trail 5 and TLC Launcher
open Oregon Trail 5 on otc5 right click on otc5 go to properties at the top click on compatibility and try
windows xp service pack 2 if the game dont worry use the run compatibility trouble shooter
in windows 10 if you get a screen saying anything bout the screen it go away in a sec r 2
after you get the game to work make a short cut to the desk top
Hope this works did 4 me

Oregon Trail II is an educational video game released by MECC in 1995. It was published by SoftKey Multimedia. It is a revised version of the original The Oregon Trail video game. It was redesigned with the help of American Studies PhD Wayne Studer. In contrast to the original version of the game, Oregon Trail II made an effort to include greater roles for women and racial minorities.
In addition to the regular edition, MECC released a 25th Anniversary Limited Edition Oregon Trail II Computer Game. The CD-ROM came with an official strategy guide and certificate of authenticity, all packaged in a commemorative wooden storage box.

Oregon Trail II gameplay
Oregon Trail Game
Oregon Trail II's graphics are considerably more detailed than those in the original. In addition, events such as diseases (including dysentery, measles, cholera, and others), obstacles on the path, accidents while traveling, and even interactions with other groups in one's wagon train involve being directed to choose a course of action from a set of multiple choices.
Gameplay[edit]
When players start a new game, they can choose their name, occupation, level, date of travel, their starting point and destination, and type of wagon. Also, they may select how many others are with them in their wagon, along with their names and ages. After selecting an occupation, the player can select various skills. The player chooses skills with a 120-point limit. Automatic skills are free. The more important the skill is, the more it costs. Each skill can make good events more likely to happen, and bad events less likely to happen. While some occupations have more money than others, the low income occupations get a greater final bonus, which proves crucial in getting a high score in the end of the game. However, if the player settles at a destination other than the one they had selected at the start of the game, they will not receive a bonus, regardless of their chosen occupation.
Oregon Trail II includes far more detail than the original. For instance, rafting down the Columbia River is a much greater challenge than it was in the original game. Whenever an event (e.g. an accident or illness) happens, the game halts and the player must make a choice of action, so it is much more interactive than the previous version. Players are also able to talk with other settlers along the way and ask their advice. At any point in the game, if the player dies, the game is over. This version also allows the player to choose between 21 years of travel (rather than 1 in the original) from 1840 to 1860. Travel is much easier in later years, as there are more towns and trading posts along the way for resupply. The online guidebook resource alters its displayed help based upon the year of travel, but not with the target and trailhead ends chosen—hence to read the book, one needs to wade past pages of useless information applicable to sub-scenarios (such as alternate routes over a local regional stretch) one hasn't chosen.
Outfitting the supplies and choosing the parties equipment of their journey becomes a possible point of player control leading to increased scoring chances. Additional supplies means adding weight to the player's wagon. When the wagon's weight limit is reached, it is not possible to continue on the trail and some goods will have to be dumped. The game offers players an immense selection of supplies available for purchase. During the beginning of the game, package deals are available up to six months of provisions. However, many perils in the game will cause many provisions to be lost or used for trade. One has the option of taking a computer generated 'package deal', ostensibly offered by the trailhead town's merchants. Or the player can shop the town and choose a custom strategy, quantities, tools and so forth—or take the package then shop or trade in addition to that. One problem with the package is finding someone to trade for unwanted items for useful ones. Conversely, some assets are only available by the package (e.g. Chains, anvils, plows) or by trading—though many of those can be purchased from merchants or blacksmiths farther down the trails. If a player decides to buy supplies without the package, the player may buy chains or anvils from Westport, Fort Kearny or Fort Laramie. All forts or towns with a blacksmith's shop will sell chains, nails (measured in pounds), and anvils.

The Oregon Trail 5th Edition: Adventures Along the Oregon Trail is a 2001 video game, and the sequel to The Oregon Trail 4th Edition.
Gameplay[edit]
The game design is based on Oregon Trail II, but adds various new features to the game. The plant gathering feature was carried over from editions 3 and 4. The 'Wild Fruits and Vegetables' event from Oregon Trail II is removed. This feature involves identifying which plants are edible and which are poisonous. (Incidentally, the option to 'go look for edible plants' whenever someone is diagnosed with scurvy was kept.) The player can also go fishing. Updated graphics have been provided for river crossings. There are also added cinematics which follow the fictional journey of the three Montgomery children: Parker, Cassie, and Jimmy, who leave Independence accompanied by an African-American trailblazer named Captain Jed Freedman to search for the children's father in Oregon. Various points of the children's story are triggered when the player reaches a certain destination on the trail, which ranges from dangerous experiences (Jimmy is bitten by a snake) to campfire scenes in which Captain Jed would tell a story that reflects other historically accurate incidents (e.g. https://babesrenew603.weebly.com/blog/mac-os-x-download-108. the Donner Party, the California Gold Rush, and the Santa Fe Trail). The conversation pictures are no longer animated. The soundtrack of Oregon Trail II has also been removed, replaced with a single repeating audio loop.
Marketing[edit]
As part of the 25th anniversary of Oregon Trail, an online version called Oregon Trail Online was produced.[1]
