I am in need of a mounting utility that can mount ISO images virtually to a machine that is a standalone application without an installation.

I know of Magic Disc and Daemon tools but they both require installations. Microsoft doesn't currently offer such a utility so I was wondering if anyone here knew of one.

I doubt it exists. Virtual CD drives usually have to install a driver to simulate the drive and install an application to specify which image to mount. – Snark Sep 2 '10 at 12:31
Yeah, that's what I thought. If Windows offered API's for it and natively supported it like every other operating system, I would bet that there would be a lot more applications that do this. Thanks for your input. – qroberts Sep 2 '10 at 12:39
There has been a small tool written by Microsoft itself. CF tech-recipes.com/rx/620/… Unfortunately it only works under x86 OSes. If we could get the source code, we could maybe compile an x64 version, but I doubt whether anyone has got this code either. – Andreas Sep 2 '10 at 19:23

No viable solution available at this time. Windows does not natively support mounting without a third party driver/software.
