The file does reside at that path.

Ideas?

I set mine to allow explorer.exe and it worked.

When I mount the ISO file, the only choices for drive letters are A & B. So I chose A and opened the C# iso and then clicked on the Setup icon. It responds “A:\setup.exe The specified path does not exist. Check the path, and then try again.”

What am I doing wrong this time?

Sweet app.

1. Configuring DEP to allow it to work
1.a. Right Click [ My Computer ] select [ Properties ]
1.b. Select [ Advanced ] tab
1.c. Select [ Performance: Settings ] button
1.d. Select [ Data Execution Prevention ] tab
1.e. Select [ Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select ] radio button
1.f. Navigate to [ C:\WINDOWS\System32\ShellExt\ ]
1.g. Type “blind” [ File name: FileDisk.dll ] press [ Open ] button
1.h. Navigate to [ C:\WINDOWS\System32\ ]
1.i. Select [ FileDisk.exe ] press [ Open ] button
1.j. Navigate to [ C:\WINDOWS\System32\ ]
1.i. Select [ rundll32.exe ] press [ Open ] button

2. The following should show up in the DEP window
[x] FileDisk Virtual Disk Driver
[x] FileDiskExt Shell Extension
[x] Run a DLL as an App

3. Click [ Apply ] button
WARNING! Your changes require the system to reboot

4. Navigate to an ISO image file
4.a. Right click on the file and hover over [ O Mount Via FileDisk ]
4.b. Select a drive letter name from the flyout menu
4.c. Note the drive letter will not appear in the Explorer drive list view for approximately 60 “whole” seconds, ADD suffers (of which most geeks suffer from) may judge the process a failure. It is not, it will appear reliably.
4.d. Beware of double clicking the drive and the Explorer default to execute Autorun.inf aka Autoplay
4.e. Right click on the drive letter and select Explore if you just want to access the contents

5. Umounting
5.a. Open Explorer drive list view
5.b. Right click “mounted” drive letter
5.c. Select [ O Umount ]
5.d. Note: You must not have the drive letter open in any other window or you’ll get –> FileDisk: Error unmounting device [ Access is denied ] [ OK]
5.e. Note the drive letter will not disappear in the Explorer drive list view for approximately 60 “whole” seconds, ADD suffers (of which most geeks suffer from) may judge the process a failure. It is not, it will disappear reliably.
5.f. Note momentarily while the disk is unmounting a slightly alarming red ! may appear next to the drive with a few minor words about drive not found. This is very brief and resolves itself in a few seconds.

What Gives?

He says go to the command line and execute this to manually unmount it:

example:

filedisk /mount 0 b:\ext2imagename.img t:

to unmount it use the “U”mount command:

filedisk /umount t:

I also believe its never a good idea to use the A: or B: devices from the flyout menu even if they are offered, for one thing you might have some USB device masquerading as one of them, some BIOSes especially for laptops will autoswap or emulate them.

Just try to make sure you don’t choose a drive letter that you know is already in use.

Other than that your on your own, I make no claims of being an expert.

Good luck.

Little difficult to find - waded thru a lot of bloated ( 1 - 6 MB ) programs - masquerading as Freeware… which were either trialware, crippleware or flat out shareware.
And here we see the functionality of mounting an ISO handily done in less than 100KBs.

Anyway, I can’t figure out how to unmount.

Also I don’t understand:

4.a. Right click on the file and hover over [ O Mount Via FileDisk ]
5.c. Select [ O Umount ]

What does “hover over” mean? I know no such Windows Explorer gesture and went I try to hover, nothing happens. When I right-click, I see Open With… FileDiskExt Shell Extension

That’s what permits me to mount the ISO. But I see nothing about unmounting.

Looks promising though — Vincent

Thanks.
