Installing Daemon Tools
| Once you have downloaded the file, find where you saved it and double click it. This will begin the installer. |
| When the installer has loaded, you will be presented with the setup wizard. Click 'next' to continue. |
| Read through the software license. If you agree, click 'I Agree'. |
| Some users will be prompted to restart their computer to continue. If you are, save all your open work and press 'OK' to continue. |
| Next, you will be asked which components you would like to install. Please Note: The Daemon Tools Search Bar includes a piece of adware that is detected by Symantec Antivirus. It is not crucial to install, so we recommend unchecking this option. |
| If necessary, you can select a specific location for Daemon Tools to be installed. Most users can just click 'Install'. |
| Once installation is complete, click 'Finish' |

| Left-Click on the Daemon Tools icon. You should see a list of virutal CD/DVD drives and what files are mounted. Click on the CD drive that you want to associate with an ISO file. |
| Find the ISO file and click Open. If your computer is set to Autorun CDs, the installation/program will automatically run. If not, open up "My Computer" and open the virutal CD drive. |
