ISO file.... help needed immediately!
-
Hello there, I have the setup for Visual Studio.NET 2008 but it is in .iso format. I searched google and found that it was an image file. How can I install Visual Studio 2008 from it? Will I have to burm it to a CD or DVD? or is there any software to do that job for me? I dont have a DVD writer, but I know that the setup would require 2 CD disks then. Please help me..... Please..... Its really urgent! Thanx, Rajdeep.NET

Or you may find http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/b/6/7b6abd84-7841-4978-96f5-bd58df02efa2/winxpvirtualcdcontrolpanel_21.exe[^] usefull. It's a MS tool whoch mounts ISO files as drives. This VS2008 ISO wouldn't be a pirate, would it? If so, remember you gave your email when you registered here? No so clever, was it?

This VS2008 ISO wouldn't be a pirate, would it? If so, remember you gave your email when you registered here? No so clever, was it? I'm sorry but you are behaving a bit judge jury and executioner here. You asked him if it was pirate when you had clearly already made your mind with your "no so clever" comment. If you had any clue, you would realise that ISO is a very common method of distributing software to many people such as: An MSDN subscription for a company. Or more likely and as in my case via the MSDN Academic Alliance that provides free VS and other things to students who's universities are part of it in ISO format. And besides, what do you really think is going to happen even if it was pirate, Microsoft is clearly going to file a lawsuit against one guy on one of the millions of forums out there on the premise that his e-mail address was not generated by 10 minute mail or just created as a false one? Perhaps think next time before you start accusing people without knowing really what the situation is.

My apologies if you took it that I was accusing anyone in particular of pirating software. If I believed that this was pirate software, would I have given links to software to use it? Unlikely... Yes, ISO is a common method of distributing software legitamately, but it is also a very common way of distributing software illegaly. Most users who pay for software in ISO format would allready have a good idea what to do with it, or the provider will recommend a package. If they didn't, wouldn't they ask first, or order the CD version? If you have a company MSDN subscription, then the IT department will normally handle distribution, and save everyone else from needing to install yet more software. Of course MS isn't going to sue a single person, even he if shouts "I pirate Software" as his signature. But do we have the right to encourage piracy on this forum? Or should we discourage it? Do you get paid for software production - I do. Does piracy hurt your company - it would mine.

Of course we should discourage it, but we should do so in a professional manner. I felt that your comments were a little unfair since you don't really know the full story behind why he has an ISO. There are quite a lot of people at my university who use the MSDNAA ISO files so they can work at home. You would be quite suprised how clueless some people are when it comes to computers and yet are taking a computer course. The tech department gives instructions on what to do, but people are people and just don't read half of the time.

I agree, I don't always http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1159&msg=3013204[^] I also noted that the original poster is based in India, were software piracy is rife...
