Mount ISO image silent on Windows 7 without third-party software installation

Question

I want to mount an ISO image silent to a specific drive letter on Windows 7, without installing third-party software. I tried with WinCDEmu Portable but it needs to be started with gui once to install the driver. Is there any way to get this done?

Answer 1

I found a solution. It is possible with OSFMount. After installed on a machine once, it's sufficient to copy OSFMount.com and OSFMount.sys from install dir to make it portable.

My batch script looks like this:

@echo off
set disk1=\\path\to\my\disk1.iso
set disk2=\\path\to\my\disk2.iso
set drive1=M:
set drive2=N:
.\OSFMount.com -a -t file -f %disk1% -m %drive1% 
.\OSFMount.com -a -t file -f %disk2% -m %drive2% 

%drive1%\setup.exe -silent -media_dir2 %drive2%

.\OSFMount.com -d -m %drive1%
.\OSFMount.com -d -m %drive2%
exit 0

Answer 2

Please check with WINCDEMU portable, save the below script as .CMD file or .BAT, and place it in your USB flash drive (because it is portable so I thought).

    @echo off
    sleep 5
    set iso1="PATH-TO-ISO"
    set iso2="PATH-TO-ISO"
    set emupath=%~dp0
cd %emupath%
    echo "Mounting ISO = %iso1%"
    batchmnt %iso1%
        echo "Mounted !!"
    ping 127.0.0.1 -n 6 > nul
    batchmnt %iso2%
pause

This is doable through : PowerShell Mount-DiskImage

$mountResult = Mount-DiskImage C:\myISO.iso -PassThru
$volumeiso = $mountResult | Get-Volume

Then you can start a explorer window

ii $volumeiso:\
