Using VCDControlTool on Vista to mount an ISO or IMG file

Need to mount an .iso or .img as a virtual cd/dvd on Vista? The free Microsoft Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel works pretty well. The only caveat, you have to run it as an administrator (e.g. Right-click -> Run as Administrator). After you have your drive image mounted, you also have to run the “CMD” prompt as administrator to access the virtual drive.

    @Thiyagu: I've used it on Vista Business. Sorry, I have no idea what is preventing it from working for you. You could try Virtual CloneDrive as an alternative: http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html.
