How to Install from a mounted ISO image?

Question

I am trying to install from an ISO image. using Daemon Tools, I was able to mount the image as a virtual drive, but what do I do from here? Do i need a separate piece of software to actually INSTALL what's on the ISO image? Many thanks.

From all the answers I got so far, It seems nobody really understand the problem. The iso image is on CD, and i have also tried to mounted from the desktop neither of the methods worked. Funnily enough, the ISO file is valid & healthy because I was able to see the contents through ISOBUSTER, but the only problem is that I could not run setup.exe when I extract the image into a folder. Setup needs to run from a CD type media. otherwise I got a setup error message.

With Daemon Manager I am able to successfully mount the image as a drive but I cannot see its contents when it's mounted. I still see it as a .iso file, and now I get a different message when I click on the mounted drive to open it, the message is "Please insert a disk into drive x:".

Answer 1

Hmm, sounds like you have a flaky .iso file.

Try converting it to a .BIN file with Isobuster and mount that (Isobuster has a neat easy to use conversion tool).

You will need to select 'All files' as the file type when trying to mount the .bin as Daemon tools won't see it otherwise.

It's also worth noting that some .iso files are designed to be physically burnt to disk because of the UDF file system (a la Windows Vista).

Don't try mounting an .iso or .bin from a cd, it probably won't work (CDFS issue?)

An .ISO is just an exact copy of a CD or DVD, what's on it depends what is on the original physical disk. If you go to the virtual drive icon in My Computer, right click and select OPEN, it will open a window displaying the contents of the 'disk'

Also make sure all emulation options are turned on:
1) Right click the Daemon tools task bar icon (by the clock)
2) Hover mouse over Emulation
3) Left click All options ON.

The icon in the taskbar should now have turned green

Ok when you mount the image to the virtual drive its like putting a cd into the computers physical drive so the setup program should come up automatically.if it doesnt click on my computer in the start menu.here your virtual drive will be listed click on it and it should work then.

i'm basically approximately specific you may iinstall Linux this form - mount the ISO loobpack, then whilst it asks the place the set up image is, say community filesystem. Or for that remember positioned the information on the community and use NFS or ftp. yet you may ought besides the equivalent of the 1st CD from USB stick or over the community with PXIE. For domicile windows, i do no longer recollect it provides plenty administration over the approach. you may borrow an exterior DVD force and use that, in the experience that your BIOS helps booting from USB.

Answer 4

The ISO image will be mounted into a virtual CD-ROM...just access it like you had a physical CD in.

Answer 5

Alternatively you can get an iso programme and expand the content to a folder------>Iso Buster

Generally you just go to the virual CD drive and run whatever setup is on there
