    Hi,

    I installed WinCDEmu, but I can’t get it to open .iso files when I double click on them. I went through the usual options (Windows default programs, edit the registry manually), but iso files will always be opened with Nero. Even if I right click the iso, select ‘Open with’, select WinCDEmu, it still opens Nero. Does anyone havge an idea what’s going on here?

    (My system is brand new and has Windows 7, 64bit)

    I forgot to tell: When I right click, select ‘Open With’, and then select another application, it does work. So I can open an iso with SMPlayer, or the “Windows disc burning application”, but not with wincdemu…
    The only way so far is to create a shortcut on the desktop, and drag an iso file onto that.

    Got it fixed, I’m wondering if something is missing from the installer?

    I added to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClasses a new key called vmnt64.exe, and subkeys:

    vmnt64.exe
+= shell
+= open
+= command

    The default value for that last key is set to “C:Program Files (x86)WinCDEmuvmnt64.exe” “%1”

    Then, I changed the default value for HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerFileExts.isoUserChoice to “vmnt64.exe”. (Somehow my account was explicitly denied write access to that key, but fortunately I could remove that policy)

    I think the important thing was that first step, and that the rest could have been done using Open With => choose default program
