I have Visual Studio 2010 Pro on a DVD disc, but it is an ISO image, and I wanted to run this on my home PC in place of 2010 Express Edition.
So first of all, can I run this on my home computer? Do I need a virtual drive tool to run an image on my home computer? Is there a microsoft virtual drive tool? Is there a good resource I could read about this and learn the basics.
Open "My Computer", and navigate to the folder containing the iso file. Right-click on the iso file, the shell context menu will popup. Select "Mount image to drive ..." from the shell context menu. The selected iso file will be mounted to the virtual drive.
To install Visual Studio, place the DVD in the DVD drive of your system or navigate to the directory where the ISO image has either been mounted or unpacked. If your system is configured to autorun when a CD or DVD is inserted into the drive, then the installation screen should appear.
Right-click on the ISO image file and choose mount from the menu. This will open the file much like a DVD. You will see it listed among your drive letters in Windows explorer. Browse to the location of the setup file and double-click it to start your installation.
Use 7-Zip to extract files to some folder.
