How to Mount an ISO Image on Windows Server 2008

windows-server-2008

I followed the instructions on mount-an-iso-image-on-windows-2003. I don't see the the drive after mounting.

I used the Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel v2.0.1.1 from microsoft.

Anyone have a simple clean way of mounting ISO image on Win 2008 Server?

I would be mounting on a production box, so, can not reboot. I wanted something simple and easy to use and free. It is for a one time use to install software that was packaged in an ISO image.

Best Answer

Do not mount it?

I mean, seriously. You can't reboot? Ok. This is for software on a server that came with an ISO image? Ok.

So what?

  • Mount ISO image on your workstation
  • Copy files to server.
  • Install.

I do that all the time. Server software (usually) comes without disc based copy protection.
