    installing visual studio trial from an iso

    Hi all, i downloaded the 90 day trial of visual studio 2005 from microsoft's website, but it's in an .iso format, is there any way short of burning it to dvd that i can extract the necessary files and install it. I've looked at daemon tools but i don't particularly like the looks of it, looks a bit dodgy to me.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Andy

    **EDIT**

    oops, should have read your post better, didn't notice you'd already found daemon tools. What don't you like about it?

    **EDIT**

    You can mount the .iso as a virtual drive using something like DaemonTools

    http://www.daemon-tools.cc/

    Nero might let you do this too, but it might be limited to .nrg files, not sure on that one.

    daemon tools is fine - i've been using it for ages for just the same job (installing ISOs from MS).

    You can just extract it with WinRAR or something, no need to properly burn/mount it.

    That's true, but mounting it saves you bothering

    Download the Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel; mount the ISO via that. Job done.
