Programmatic (API) access to ISO files?
-
There are LOTS of utilities (executables) for mounting ISO files to drive letters, but I want to open and read the contents of an ISO file through some kind of library, not a separate EXE. Any way to do that? I don't mind mind mounting the ISO to a drive letter or directory, I just don't want to make the user do it manually.

You could add the ISO reading functionality to a DLL or COM Object and use it that way. You'll probably have to write the ISO code yourself, but it's not too difficult and there is a full ISO spec on the web. Google for ISO9660, Joliet, etc, here is the wikipedia[^] entry for example.
