Yes, it is completely possible to virtually mount the ISO. There has been success with PowerISO & the newest version of Daemon tools is now Windows 7 compatible.

thanks for the reply, but upgrading worked for me with powerISO, not sure about installation though.
upgrading worked probably because the setup files were copied when the disc was mounted, so after the reboot the installation could still continue with the files in hand. yep. methinks it happens that way at least.

I simply extracted the 7077 ISO to a folder on the desktop and upgraded from it. Worked great, and quick (no cd drive access time or extraction time)
