Installing Windows 7 download

I am really hoping someone can help me with this. I bought Windows 7 Professional (full version) from the online Microsoft store because of the student discount. But instead of receiving a disk, I had to download 3 files onto my Macbook. [setup1.box, setup2.box, and Win7-P-Retail-en-us-x86.exe] When I open Parallels, it asks me to insert a disk. What can I do? I have already talked to technical support from Microsoft and Apple and they have been no help. This is my last hope.
 
executable

I am having trouble with step 3 on the link you gave me. What is an executable and how do I run it? By the way, thank you for your help.
 
right-click executable file (.exe), select Run As... > Administrator. Antonio, I think it makes sense to contact Microsoft and ask if there is an option to get ISO image (I know that some retailers provide it) or real DVD.
 
Thank you

I contacted Microsoft and asked for an ISO image. There is an available download and they said I should be able to burn that. Thank you so much!
