Get Virtual Clone Drive, it's free and you just mount the iso as another drive on you're machine, it's then like accessing another disk or a cd/dvd. It will allow you to mount multiples iso at the same time.

If you want to install it on the same PC it's on then as above is the way to go.

Mount it as a virtual drive and your PC will see the ISO as being on a CD and run as such.

Does Daemon Tools still come with adware? I switched to MagicDisc to avoid that.

Some things still have to be burned to CD as they can be fussy, even if its a drivers disk would you believe

i use Alcohol usually to make virtual drives

But if i want to burn them to disk with nero installed i just double click on the ISO file and it opens nero to burn it as a image onto the CD or DVD.

When i tried doing it by opening nero 1st it always burnt as a data file.

If you don't want to burn it and don't want to mount it via daemon, simply right click the iso and extract it to your HDD (assuming you have winrar installed)
