It's yours? Great job. The new competitor of daemon tools.

[MCT]

if its yours, is there commandline switches? i NEED commandline switches lol like

VCdControlTool.exe /mount "filename.iso"

?

Actually, this a tool Microsoft released a while back, and does not have a command line interface. But if someone finds one that does ... please let us all know!

Doesn't filedisk by BO Branten already work perfectly?

Find here details and a plugin by Bilou_Gateux:

Really interesting but to be honest maybe I'm the only one that wasn't able to use Bo Branten system above described, once I try to mount an ISO image it prompt me with syntax error (??)...can someone please share with me his experience? I believe that if working this could be a great tool.
Thanks

@NorthWood
ok if above steps i mentioned r not working.then copy that .sys file to ur system32 folder.and follow the same stpes.
driver control-->install driver(browse and locate that .sys file)
now click on start--->ok
next click on add driver to install virtual cd-drive
click on mount to mount ur image.

Thanks to all for your help and patience
I briefly explain my steps referred to the Bo Branten method (for what about VCdControlTool.exe I was immediately able to use the tool but, since it's not possible to use it with line command I was interested in Bo Branten/Bilou_Gateux method: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=38118&st=0 )

I'm pretty sure that I was able to perform the most part of the steps described by Bilou (I'm referring to the FileDisk.dll and inf part so that once I right click on my iso the shell extension shows me that is possible to mount the iso on a given drive), the problem rise up once I try to mount the ISO on a network share.
I use as a client a BartPe CD ran in a VMware machine, I map the network share as a drive using net use command but then once a launch !mount.cmd I'm not able to mount remotely the ISO, here following is my path organization:
D:\xpcd\wxp.iso (with all the required files included) I can see it as a network share as \\ntinstall\xpcd\wxp.iso. I map that network share using net use z: \\ntinstall\xpcd command and authenticating as administrator.
Unfortunately once I run !mount \\ntinstall\xpcd wxp.iso it prompt me with a syntax message error.
Where is my mistake? What is your path organization and !mount syntax?

[jaclaz]

If you use the !mount, you shouldn't need to mount the share as z:

Try first doing it manually:

net use z: \\ntinstall\xpcd

(login)

net start filedisk

filedisk /mount 0 z:\wxp.iso /cd X:

filedisk /status X:

dir X:

If the above works, try again with !mount, without first mapping z:, if it does not work the problem is not in filedisk, but in !mount.
