I have an ISO file name lfs-ms.iso located at the following directory: 

F:\MS\lfs-ms.iso

This ISO file contains an executable called lfs-inst.exe. I use this file many a times so I have to mount the ISO file manually every time and then open this executable. I wish to automate this process by using a command line script (.cmd). So I am building a script that first navigates to this directory, mounts the ISO file there and then opens the executable as mentioned above. 

@echo off  

cd  F:\MS\ 

mount lfs-ms.iso 

lfs-inst.exe

I have tried this but that's not working. Can someone help me how to do it.

By default, doubleclicking an .iso file will mount it in windows 10. If you have not altered this behavior, you can use the following command to do the same:

start lfs-ms.iso

Once the command is executed, the iso is mounted the same way it would be if you double click it.

So a dvd-drive appears in explorer with a driveletter attached to it, and the file is inside. Find out what drive letter the drive has, and use that in your script. I will assume G: here.

The rest of the script can navigate to the drive and execute the file.

Your batch file would look like this:

start lfs-ms.iso
g:
lfs-ms.exe

Explorer "D:\A folder\An image.iso"

The above command tells Windows to use Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) to open (mount) the ISO file.
