Files with the.iso extension are called CD images. They are distributed on the Internet and are used to publish games and programs that require installation in the public domain. Running and installing games archived in this way requires special software.
Instructions
Step 1
To install a game with the.iso extension, you need a special application - Daemon Tools. This program is designed for the so-called "emulation" of a virtual CD-ROM drive, in which the disk image is subsequently mounted. The Daemon Tools program has a paid and a free version (for home use, a free one is enough), and is freely distributed on the Internet. you can download it directly from the official website at the link https://www.daemon-tools.cc/rus/home. Installation of the program takes a few minutes. After installation, restart your computer. If necessary, disable the installation of ad modules that come with the free version of the program
Step 2
The installed program automatically goes to Windows startup and starts its work in the background when the system starts. At the same time, the application icon is located in the system tray (lower right corner, next to the system clock). To configure the program, right-click on it and select the "Emulation" button in the menu that appears. Then, in the drop-down menu, click on the line "All options are enabled." Now in all file managers, in addition to physical disks, one or more virtual drives created by the program will also be displayed.
Step 3
To work with an.iso file, left-click on the icon on the item like "Drive 0: [X:] Empty". After that, find the previously downloaded disk image file with the game in the opened Windows Explorer window.
Go to "My Computer" and make sure that one of the virtual drives is now named after the disk image. Click on it twice. As a result of this, the virtual disk will either open as a regular CD after autorun. To install the game, you need to find a file named Setup and double-click on it. Further installation of the game will proceed as in the case of an ordinary disc.
