Microsoft makes a tool available so that I can open and view the files in an ISO file. It emulates a CD-ROM drive on my computer.
1.
Download the Microsoft Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel package here 2. Extract the files to your desktop, then copy the
VCdRom.sys file to your
%systemroot%\system32\drivers folder. For most people, this is under
C:\Windows\system32\drivers.
3. Open the
VCdControlTool.exe file.
4. Click

%systemroot%\system32\drivers folder and double-click
VCdRom.sys.

My Computer.
9. Select an unused drive letter from the drive list and click

OK. UNC naming conventions should not be used, however mapped network drives should be OK.
