[Help Us!] Windows native ISO support (5 Viewers)

[Owlsroost]

Yes, the 'AttachVirtualDisk' function is supported on Win 7, but not for mounting ISO images.

The first line on the MSDN page says "Attaches a virtual hard disk (VHD) or CD or DVD image file (ISO)"

Just for confusing. I mounted the ISO with PowerShell API.

Hi,
I have pushed some change because at first i wasn't able to build the branch. (using nuget to use the correct dll)

There is a fix also that @red5goahead detected here :
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...-an-amd-video-card.132066/page-8#post-1153924

I get some others issues, seems to be timing related (maybe impacted by anydvd or anti-virus) :
Code didn't detect the newly mounted drive and then failed to open the ISO and when it happen, the unmount can't be done because drive letter is unknown from MP side.
Opening the same ISO multiple times and i get random result lol.

Not sure if we can use something else than PowerShell API or maybe force PowerShell API to use always the same drive.

Thanks @regeszter

maybe force PowerShell API to use always the same drive.

There is no parameter which pass the drive letter to the API. We can only get the result using Get-Volume.

Seb,

can you upload a log when the mount is failed?

There is no parameter which pass the drive letter to the API. We can only get the result using Get-Volume.

Can't you use Set-Volume after mounting to change to the desired drive letter?

Yep it's a really code idea, like it seems on my side to failed to get the return result of the mount (but the mouting is ok, i can see it in explorer) if we can force the drive letter right after the mounting when the drive letter set in config, we surely are good to go

It's seems that adding :

          ps.AddCommand("Mount-DiskImage")
            .AddParameter("ImagePath", IsoFile)
            .AddParameter("PassThru")
            .AddCommand("Set-Volume").AddParameter("DriveLetter", "M");

And it works, the drive is set to M for testing and ISO seems to always mounted to M:

 

[Sebastiii]

Ok, it seems to work :

using (var ps = PowerShell.Create())
        {
          Log.Debug("Mount-DiskImage {0}", IsoFile);
          ps.AddCommand("Mount-DiskImage")
            .AddParameter("ImagePath", IsoFile)
            .AddParameter("PassThru")
            .AddCommand("Set-Volume").AddParameter("DriveLetter", _Drive.Remove(_Drive.Length - 1));
          ps.Invoke();
          Log.Debug("Mount-DiskImage DriveLetter {0}", _Drive);
        }

I will test more later need to go to bed lol

Finally, i have push the change, need to be tested, i have modified MP config to be able to set a drive letter not used by windows.
Will see what happen
