I need a free (libre) utility for Windows that allows a person to edit an ISO file.
The goal is to be able to:
- Mount the ISO file with the ISO filesystem being readable and writeable.
- Make changes to files in the ISO filesystem as needed via the utility.
- Unmount the ISO filesystem with changes being saved to the ISO file.
How can I do this? Is there a utility, or do I need to build a toolchain?
For future reference: If you want a software recommendation (which is what you need if you don't have any apps that you currently know can do this) try asking here: http://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/ – thilina R – 2016-10-07T20:08:59.003
@matt wilkie do you have a Winrar registered version? – avirk – 2012-06-27T17:44:11.013
No @avirk, I don't. I generally use 7zip. Why, does registered winrar edit ISOs? – matt wilkie – 2012-06-27T18:02:49.363
@random, please elucidate why this was closed as not constructive. The question is clear, well worded, and specific. I fail to see what parts of it might solicit debate or argument.

It's shopping for a product recommendation. That goes either off topic or not constructive @mat – random – 2012-06-29T16:09:23.107
Ok. Thanks for the clarification @random. I can see how asking for product recommendations can be perceived as off topic. I think this is on the edge of that and not in it, but I accept it. You should close this one too then: http://superuser.com/questions/3804/free-windows-iso-mounting-software?rq=1

These are better rephrased by asking how to do an action in a current app. With the comment or aside saying that you're open for other programs, but the primary goal would be to fix/better the current app @mat – random – 2012-06-29T16:22:18.883
@random: Just for curiosity - how does one ask for an iso editor (=software) as "an action in a current app" when one has none? – harrymc – 2012-06-30T06:00:19.607
Fetching a list of apps to try or not try would clearly be a polling/shopping question that can't be asked @har – random – 2012-06-30T12:48:00.230
1@random: I'm not trying to be difficult, but I must admit I don't understand. The FAQ says "shopping or buying", but this cannot apply to freeware. Polling isn't mentioned, but even if it was the dictionary makes it almost synonymous with voting, and certainly there was no voting requested here or an opinion poll. How is asking for recommendation same as polling? And remarking that SU, by its vote system, is nothing else than an opinion poll system. – harrymc – 2012-06-30T15:23:01.410
