How to install software from an ISO file | Burning & Mounting

Learn how to install software from an ISO file by either burning the ISO to a DVD or CD or by mounting the ISO and by installing without the need to burn a disc!

A lot of software from DreamSpark comes in ISO format, so it's probably a good idea to learn how to use these ISO files.


Download links to software:

Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 users - you don't need to download or install this software to burn ISOs.

Windows Vista and older users - download ONE of the two pieces of free software to burn ISOs:

CDBurnerXP: cdburnerxp.se/en/home
ImgBurn: imgburn.com/


Windows 8 and 8.1 users - you can mount ISOs by right clicking on an ISO and selecting 'Mount' (or by double clicking on the ISO file).

Windows 7 and older users - you need to download and install software to 'extract' the files from the ISO files so you can install the software without burning to a disc:

7-Zip: 7-zip.org/

WinRAR will also work (right click file, select WinRAR and select Extract), but please be aware that 7-Zip is free and WinRAR is shareware: rarlab.com/download.htm
