Freeware ISO Editor - Suggestions?

I know MagicISO and a couple other programs do this, but they are ~$30. I just want to delete a single file from a DVD ISO, then reburn or save as a new ISO.

Any free solution to this?
 
Any other suggestions? 7zip can open the ISO, but when I try and delete the file it says no such interface supported 🙁
 
Hey, how big is the file? If it's over 300 mb, most trial versions of the best programs won't be viable. I'll keep looking, though.
 
Ouch, but is that the file you want to delete? I meant if the file you want to delete is over a certain size, trials won't work. Your best bet if you want to do this the free way, is to maybe try MagicDisc or just unpack the ISO, take the file out that you don't want, then re-pack it. There's certainly freeware that can assist you in that. Just give the MagicDisc site a good thorough look before you download anything, though.
 
Sorry for the late response. I was boiling some pasta for dinner. Any progress on this? As for your last question, my best answer is "give it a try" unfortunately, because it's out of my league for answers. I'll look around and let you know what I find.
 
I haven't been able to test it just yet.... I think if I use something like ISO Buster to pull out the bootable section of the disc, extract the data, then do my editing and put it all back it might work.....

The goal of this is to have a single disc of Windows 7 that will install any version, Home, Pro, Ultimate - you just need the proper product key. Beats having several discs that are all 99% the same.
 
mount in virtual drive, copy disc contents locally, delete file, copy to thumbdrive, install from thumbdrive. Much easier than re-burning. (If Id burnt a disc each time they had a new build leak I wouldn't have any left). Actually, I havent touched an optical disc since I was XP, more than 2 years ago. Silly old tech.

I might very well just do that. Awhile ago I played around with booting from thumbdrives and found it a royal PITA. But, I imagine having Win7 on a thumbdrive wouldn't be an issue.

Either way, the fix above worked, I now have a single DVD that can install Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate.
