In a previous post I mentioned that I was using an unsupported tool from Microsoft called the Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel for WinXP. Well, I think I’ve just discovered why it is unsupported. I’m using it to run an install direct from an ISO, and the install is complaining about a missing file. However, if I burn the ISO to CD, the file is there.

Thankfully, someone just pointed me at Daemon Tools, which is also free but works just fine with the ISO that caused the other one to fail.
