Looking for freeware to burn bin/cue other than imgburn

bfollowell · Jun 24, 2015

The title says it all. I'm looking for a freeware program that will allow me to burn bin/cue files that ISN'T img burn. I know this used to be the go-to program for this but they now get flagged by most anti-virus software for their habit of installing bloatware, even when you uncheck all the bloatware during install, without the users permission. I don't use programs that install other programs without my knowledge.

Is there anything else out there?

Thanks.

I use burn aware free good for most things image related and works with bin/cue files

For burn aware free see the disclaimer to download OpenCandy-free version

Download these files, to upgrade your product to the latest version. Also you can download any of previous versions or free version without OpenCandy.

You can bypass OpenCandy on any affected installer by using the switch ' /nocandy' from a cmd window eg

C:\Users\username\Desktop\SetupImgBurn_2.5.8.0.exe /nocandy

Thanks guys. I feel silly now. I'd completely forgotten that I already had UltraISO and it does exactly what I need it to do. Duh!

One other quick question. Is anyone aware of any virtual disc software that will recognize mixed-mode or audio images? So far I've not been able to find any that will allow me to test out a mixed-mode or audio image that I've created by actually playing the audio.

Thanks.

Why link directly to the EXE, with no way to back-out of the download (drops to a blank page), meh; anywho, just recently started using CDBurnerXP because 'it looks and acts like Nero' and, generally, it's pretty neat! =)

Code:

Also, teh Alcohol Soft (company AND software) had gotten neglected and pretty much forgotten as of late... It used to be THE program to go to, after Nero. They've got Alcohol 52% Free, for a virtual drive software application, and there's Alcohol 120% FE (Free Edition), for non-commercial use (which features some limitations, none which should affect us).

Code:

Unfortunately Alcohol is a major cause of BSOD, and should be avoided. CDBURNERXP is an excellent product that has a Candy - free installer, and has had for some time, directly on their website.

DAEMON Tools, Alcohol 52% Free, the SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive won't do it?..

Argh, wish you'd quoted my post... For some reason, I thought that I had gone off topic and deleted it! Maybe a moderator could bring it back (?!), please? o.0

P.S. & yeah, it's a bummer w/Alcohol!! :-/

Those are all major causes of BSOD. Better to use something else.

Then you have been lucky so far - browse the BSOD Section of the forums and you will find many cases of BSOD caused by the software you mentioned.

For anyone wishing to try CDBurnerXP: (click on the More download options)

If you want to install programs without OpenCandy - first check the installer that you downloaded by uploading to VirusTotal or if you have security software that uses the API - scan with that.

Examples:

VirusTotal Scanner MajorGeeks Download

PeStudio MajorGeeks Download

If Open Candy is found in the program installer run the install with the /NOCANDY switch as mentioned already by another member.

Or if you want a simple way you can download the NoOpencandy.bat batch file from here:

https://forum.eset.com/topic/3701-b...-dvdvideosoft-install-them-without-opencandy/

If you don't want to use the download link here's the file contents:

Code:

@echo off

	goto start

	goto askdirect
)

set name=installer

rem ** start **
:start
cls
echo Starting %name% without OpenCandy...
start "%name%" %exe% /NOCANDY
exit

Open Notepad and copy the text above. Save file as "All Files" type and give it the .bat extension.

How to run:

Double click to run the batch file. Do not right click and choose run as admin. It will run with admin rights anyway.

Drag and Drop the program's installer file (the one bundled with Open Candy) into the window and the program will install.

EDIT:

Thought I'd better add scan results for the downloaded batch file.
