    <span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’,serif; font-size: 18pt;”><span style=”color: #000000;”>I downloaded and installed WinCDEmu, to assist in the mounting process.  A virtual drive was created with the iso file stored within it, but when I tried to Install or Run the iso file, I received the following warning message:</span></span>

    <span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’,serif; font-size: 18pt;”><span style=”color: #000000;”>Windows installation cannot be started from the current operating system. To install Windows, boot from the installation media, or upgrade from a supported operating system and restart the installation.</span></span>
