dotTech Advice
WinISO is a program that offers full range of features for users who work with and/or manipulate disc images (ISOs, BINs/CUEs, DMGs, etc.) such as open, edit, create, mount, extract, and convert disc images.
I didn’t spend a lot of time with WinISO so it wouldn’t be just for me to comment on its quality (i.e. I am not saying if it is good or bad) or make any explicit recommendations (i.e. I am neither recommending it nor not recommending it). That being said, however, WinISO definitely looks like an interesting program. It isn’t one of those program that you except to use everyday (unless, of course, you work with disc images regularly in which case you may be using WinISO daily) but it is one of those programs that is very useful once you need it… if that makes any sense. I especially like its ability to edit, extract, and convert disc images.
My best advice on this freebie is download it and give it a test run. If you like it, keep it for future use. If you don’t like it, dump it. What have you got to lose, aside from a few moments of your time?
Note: Anyone that got WinISO Standard from the earlier DownloadCrew promotion in February should grab this freebie from Giveaway of the Day. Whereas the DownloadCrew giveaway was for 1 year only, this GOTD giveaway is never expiring. You don’t need to reinstall WinISO Standard if this is the case for you. Just go to Help -> Register -> Change Registration Code and enter the new registration code.

@Fred: I think it does matter what date you put the key in, I ran into this with download crew copy that I got.
I installed and registered fine.
Took an bootable ISO file from acronis update and added version 6154 to files. Saved new Iso.
Attempted to burn new cd but program crashed. Reloaded same new Iso and program crashed again.
It did not like my Liteon Ihas 220 drive. I loaded Roxio 10 and it burned the cd. However it came up with “Boot Failed” so I am not sure what is going on.
@larhome:
Which program are you using to burn the CD/DVD ?
I am a ‘bit of an old woman’ on many things.
One of those things is, I do not rely on any program doing my burning.
Other programs can create ISO’s and IFOs/VOBs etc, but they are not allowed to do my burning.
I have an earlier version of Nero Express, which I have proven in the past to be reliable with my burner.
And that is the only program that I use to do my burning.
Were you using your reliable proven burning program ?
Call me Cautious,

I was perusing the comments on GOTD web page for this giveaway, and found this little ‘heads up’ regarding -
‘I want to be able to install this in 6 months when all my PCs die’
This is the ‘heads up’ which appears in post 24 of this web page -
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/winiso-standard-6/
For an unknown reason, stores the setup file (6.2 MB) in the program’s directory. Save it in case you’ll need to reinstall the software.
(This is Rob speaking again)
This is the path to that setup file (in XP) -
C:Program FilesWinISO ComputingWinISOsetupsetup.exe
The path in Win 7 – It is a wonder that MS lets you into that folder
The path in a Mac – You shouldn’t be using them.
Rob
PS we can visit GOTD pages long after the giveaway ends. And we can vote on individual posts. This ‘Good Samaritan’ has -20
What say we all give him a YES vote to encourage him, and others in the future, to be as sharing.
I think DotTechs Editor is stripping backslashes out of paths. TCH! TCH!
This is the path with me substituting the backslash with
space BS space
C: BS Program Files BS WinISO Computing BS WinISO BS setup BS setup.exe
Failure #2. I tried to have Winiso read my Liteon drive to MAKE a ISO Image and Error: Can’t read drive D !
As I stated in first post: Does not like recognise my Liteon DVD Drive.
Easy Media Creator 10 Suite is my preferred burning software (Vista 32)
Failure #3. I tried to have Winiso read my new LG drive to MAKE a ISO Image and Error: Can’t read drive E !
I replaced the Liteon drive with the newer LG drive and it still will not see any dvd drives. What more can I do ?
Windows Vista 32 Bit
@larhome:
You sound like a desperate man, and thus might be prepared to hear half baked suggestions from someone who does not own Vista, and does not like Win 7
When installing did you run as Administrator ?
And was there a choice to install for all users
When running the program do you run as Administrator
And if all of those half baked suggestions don’t help, you could try another one -
- Setting compatibility to XP
@Rob (Down Under): Yes but to put the key in you will need to change the date back.
@Daniel:
Someone wrote to me, asking for assistance, as he missed the deadline.
(I am still attempting to assist.)
I assume he is a DotTechie, as I did not post any comments at the GOTD site.
If he was using that real installer, that I pointed to above, would he also have to set the date back ?
Comments from anyone would be appreciated, to help that fellow DotTechie.
Regarding larhome’s problem, and our concerns about later installations.
I took the nervous approach, and installed it in all my PCs.
Now I am nervous about larhome’s problem.
Drivers and interfacing with CD/DVD drives used to be a problem (in the old days), when various applications were trying to interface with our optical drive.
Perchance is larhome’s problem related to that ?
Anyone noticing problems ?
I would not slash my wrists if the giveaway was having problems.
I would slash my wrists, if it has interfered with existing applications.
Anyone noticed any problems with there other existing applications, and your optical drive ?
@RobCr:
If your using the real installer, yes you do need to change the date back.
1. Install winISO
2. run winISO
3. change the date back
4. put username and product key in and press ok
5. change date back.
Hopes this help.
(I did it several times and it all good for me :))
@Daniel:
Thanks the other chap is still having problems.
I will draw his attention back to this web page.
I would have leaned towards setting the date back, prior to installing the program.
Then enter License / Reg key
Then reset date back to normal.
But then again, I see you have already proved your approach works.
I will email him now, passing this web page’s link
Regards,
Rob
@RobCr:
If he get stuck, report here and I will do a detailed picture by picture guide on it. Or better do a video :)
