one ISO mounting program to rule them all

[colonelciller]

I've just found this little gem for ISO mounting!
WinCDEmu

Just double click the ISO file and a mount-dialog box pops up... nothing could be easier!

• Freeware
• GPL License
• Open Source
• 812kb total download
• Just double-click to mount ISO!

:hmm:I'm assuming this is safe spyware-free.
Has anyone heard of this software... and if I am wrong to make such assumptions?:hmm:

So far I love this little program.

I'll check this out sometime this week. I have been using Daemon tools but with all the bundled spyware they have, its left a bad taste in my mouth for years. I'd like to find another option!

I'm a big fan of Pismo File Mount - right-click on the ISO, mounts as a read-only folder:

Free & installs in seconds. Also works on ZIP files.

What spyware? DT lite is literally installed on every computer I own and there is no spyware to be found.

I have used clonedrive without issues and Alcohol has a free virtual drive as well

If it were me, I'd give the OP's program a try. Being libre, you can use it for anything, including corporate use. Regardless of what you're willing to do as a private party, keeping things legit is prudent if you're running a business.

If using Windows 8, ISO mounting is baked in now.

i forget this, but i dont use it much, or need it much at home, which is the only place i have windows 8

shame it wasnt a thing in server 2008, but i use virtual clone drive usually for those.

If you just click next without reading it will install tool bars and such, but you can tell it no.

(it's clean now, but look at the comment at the bottom, obviously it was not clean in the past)

doesn't look like this supports windows 8 🙁...do you guys have any recommendations for an iso mounter that works with windows 8?

I tried using MagicISO on windows 8 but it doesn't work either, so looking for something (preferably free) that works with windows 8.

Built in, just right click the ISO and mount it.

Try Virtual Clonedrive from Slysoft.

Someone above said Windows 8 has this built in. If so, you don't need a third party tool.

EDIT: I guess I type too slow.
