    Anybody Found a Virtual CD App For Vista?


    I can't get Virtual Drive 8, 9 or 10 to install on the RTM (I have sent an
    email to Farstone asking about compatibility).

    Has anybody found an app that allows the mounting of virtual CD/DVD images
    on Vista? I have all the original media but I use the images to install
    apps because it's easier than getting the CD's out of storage. An app that
    will accept Virtual Drive images would save me a heck of a lot of time as
    well!

    Magic disc works, I think with RTM it said it had compatibility errors. It
    works for me and Vista hasn't stalled, rebooted, blue screened etc.

    I haven't used it in RTM x64 but it worked in RC2 x64.

    Daemon Tools works on both x86 and x64.

    I'm still waiting for Nero ImageDrive to be sorted out.

    I just tried the VirtualCD from MSDN. It only mounts when you right click
    and select Run as Administrator - otherwise it errors that SCM could not be
    opened: Access Denied.

    You can also get a drive created and drive mounted but, once mounted, you
    cannot access the drive.

    Too bad because this lightweight virtual CD tool has been a favorite utility
    of mine for years.

    Wow, thanks for all the input everybody :-)

    I tried Magic ISO as the first suggestion and it's fine, managed to
    install my Belkin UPS s/w no problems.

    Vista did complain but at least installed it, with Virtual Drive it just
    flatly refused to install, will have to get used to that I guess.

    FileDisk works with Vista RTM - http://www.winimage.com/misc/filedisk64.htm.
    The filedisk_modbin64_tray.zip from that page has both a 32 bit and 64 bit
    version.

    It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
