Installing Daemon Tools on Windows 7

[Megawaldi]

Where can i get the hacked version of Daemon Tools? Thx

[AlexMagik]

Virtual CloneDrive beta works fine...

just finished to install VS.NET 2008 and SQL 2008 out of iso files...

the only issue is that after install you need to reboot before it start working (but the software doesn't tell you that)

[Hanschke]

yes more information about the hack will be nice ;)

[Eric Veteran]

I just use WinRAR to extract ISO images, and I don't buy games that require you to leave the disc in the drive. (Steam/GameTap FTW) :)

Or....you guys could all use a stable OS (Like Vista, or XP), rather than that copy of Windows 7 you torrented.

Windows 7 is available from Microsoft. Where have you been? And this is the Windows 7 BETA forum, so nobody's expecting it to work 100%, they're reporting issues with it.

How about Alcohol 52%? If you want to simulate AND burn CDs, get Alcohol 120%.

Can anyone confirm Alcohol 52% as working? :)

I think Alcohol uses the SPTD as well, so if it's not working in DT it probably won't work with Alcohol.

I can confirm Alcohol52 does NOT work work with win7....they even posted that on the forum pages for Alcohol52.

I had Win 7 ( build 7000 X64) on this machine and Virtual Clone CD installed ok, but I was having lots of freezing and crashing issues, so I blew the install away and downed the 32 bit one from MS...

It worked just fine until I installed VCD on it then it went to hell too, only it wouldn't work either... It wouldn't uninstall, but I was successful at doing a system restore.

There is nothing wrong with Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools, the programs work fine it's just the SPTD driver that cannot be installed.

Anyone tryed installing x64Bit SPTD driver then trying to install Daemon tools, i'm pretty sure that will work.

Give it a try, but make sure you install Daemon in Compat mode.

It won't work. SPTD still says it's not installed after the restart.

PowerISO works, I had to use it today lol.

[atleeit]

I've been using PowerISO since Win7 was released, i guess instead of virtualising your ISO then you have to get used to nocd patches :p

[Elliot B.]

I can confirm that PowerISO v4.3 can't mount ISO images in Windows 7 on my system.

[fix-this!]

I can confirm that PowerISO v4.3 can't mount ISO images in Windows 7 on my system.

i wouldn't pay for that app anyways !

[Elliot B.]

I can also confirm that MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM fails to mount ISO images on my system, too.

King mustard you have something wrong with your setup then, PowerISO works perfectly.

It's a clean Windows 7 installation, so it's not. I am using the 64-bit version of Windows 7, if that helps the case.

In fact, MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM has royally knackered the system. After un-installing and restarting, Computer locks up (I presume as it checks the virtual drive, which is clearly now corrupt) and nor do anything that require any drives (PowerDVD etc.) (they lock up too). Un-installing the virtual drive using Device Manager locks the system so that it won't even log off/restart and un-installing the virtual drive in safe mode using Device Manager works, only for it to end up 'finding new device drivers' for it again when you restart and the whole problem re-starts.

EDIT: Disabling the device in safe mode rather than un-installing it seems to fix the problem, although it's not an ideal solution.

Doesn't work and neither does Alcohol 120%.

I'm currently using PowerISO.

BUT... there's a problem

this daemon old version works very well but...

the other problem is that i could not uninstall from Seven... i culd only remove this by System Restore...

The old version will work but why would you use it, it won't work with todays Securrom version of games.

[ozgeek]

Anyone got a newer version that works with 7057 or have they not yet got it working for Win7?

[Luis.A]

Try using Virtual Clone Drive instead. Daemon tools is not working properly on Win7.

[ozgeek]

I tried Virtual Clone drive but it crashes my system. When I bring my pc out of sleep, it crashes and WMP don't work. I have to restart my PC to get it working so I suspect VCD is the problem because i reinstalled and now don't have the problem.

Because not everyone uses Daemon Tools just to play pirated copies of games...
