    I have a program in ISO format and I can't get it written to CD is there anyway I can install it straight to my computer?

    No way I know of, but I am sure that someone, somewhere, created a utility for this.
    Search Google for:

    ISO extractor

    maybe that will give you some hits.

    "Daemon Tools" or "Alcohol 120%" lets you mount it on a virtual drive.

    What you want to do is mount the image. There are a ton of programs that can do it. Personally, I recommend Daemon Tools.

    I'd recommend Alcohol 120%. You can create virtual drives and mount the ISO files. You can then install your program without having to burn any cds. Once you're done you simply remove the virtual drive.

    You might have a little fun of course installing those programs in Vista since it automatically attempts to remove things with root-kits.

    Another one not mentioned is POWERISO, which is also a pretty good ripper if you pay for it and a virtual drive should you not pay.

    If the ISO is not writing however there is of course many potentials without more information:

    i.e.
    When you say not writing do you mean it's not actually writing to the disc or it's writing but the disc afterwards won't operate?

    If it's not writing it can be down to the information in the ISO being greater than the freespace on the disc. This usually requires "Overburning" should your software and CD/DVD writer support it.

    If the disc you copied (to create the ISO) was copyrighted, then it's possible that a particular method was used for copy protection to both thwart copying and corrupt the copy.

    Perhaps it's just a drive related issue.

    (So many potentials)

    I assumed he meant he does not have access to a burner.

    TY, that is of course one I missed

    Although technically it could be possible to find somewhere to burn the info. For instance I don't know how many of you have tried sneaking into a computer shop to load up various linux live discs on their PC's. It wouldn't take much to say "I'm interested in this notebook, however I wanted to see if it could burn things quicker than the machine I currently have" and take a zip drive with you.

    Of course it's cheeky, but if you haven't looked at the pricing structures in those shops then you'll never know why it's worth pulling a fast one.

    ISO buster will extract the ISO file.
