Any one on Win7 64 bit use the iso mount routine that can be downloaded from here.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38780

It works well on win8.1. Haven't tried in Win10 TP yet.

But am interested if it actually works in 64bit Win7.  I've read that it may not.

Just asking!

I know I can can get Virtual CloneDrive, but if the smaller thing form the MS site works in Win7 64bit. I'd rather use it.

TIA

    Hello Bill,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    The Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel only supports 32-bit versions of Windows. The older Windows driver it uses isn’t compatible with a 64-bit OS.

    You may refer the following Microsoft article below for further information on this.
