Pismo File Mount

This page shows how to install and use the virtual DVD drive provided by Pismo File Mount.

Windows 2008 R2 and below can not browse ISO files. If you need to browse an ISO file on Windows 2008 R2 or below, the simplest way to do this is via a virtual DVD drive. Windows 2012 and above allows ISO files to be browsed without the need for additional software, so a virtual DVD package is not needed for these systems.

There are many virtual DVD drive packages available. This page describes the Pismo File Mount package because it is particularly easy to use.

SQL FineBuild does not install Pismo File Mount because it is needed to prepare the SQL Server install media before FineBuild is run. The process of installing and using it is described below.
