Mounting and running '.iso' file in Windows XP

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I have a useful utility in the form of an xxx.iso disc image file. It
contains an executable program file (xxx.exe) and an autorun.inf file. Is
there some way I can mount the image and run the program, either within
Windows or from the Command prompt.

It's an image of a CD or DVD.

and see DVDBurn and CDBurn to make them into a disk.

To treat an ISO file as if it's a real CD.

MS supplies software for download only in ISO these days (for your offices and windows and Visual studio) so they released a tool to make them usuable.

I found the interface (what there is of an interface - let's call it a
method..) to not be as clean as something like Daemon Tools though..

An ISO is an image which can be burned directly to CD/DVD. Alternatively
you can use something like IsoBuster to extract the contents.

Thanks. I'll give the virtual pc control panel a try. I'd rather not bother
burning a cd.
