Virtual cd/dvd drive software (2011)
kfitting:
Need to add the MagicISO does support ISO, but uses UIF by default.
ewemoa:
FWIW, there's also a portable version of WinCDEmu:

Curt:
sorry, I confused MagicDisc with MagicISO.
MagicDisc is freeware, MagicISO is $30.

MagicISO gets bashed a lot around the internet. However, hardly anyone says why it's so bad. They just say it sucks. And I'm like, "But why??" Anyway...this WinCDemu is working well. I'll check out DVDFab, I had never heard of that one. I've tried MagicISO...I don't remember how it was. I think it was fine, but I went with PowerISO for some reason. Geez...these names...MagicISO, PowerISO, UltraISO...I need to do a Super(boyac)ISO.

In my case, it's because MagicDisc blew up Disk Manager on my old XP machine and I couldn't even uninstall it.

Yes, I also remember odd things like this when I used MagicDisc, I just don't remember the details. I liked the functionality of the software very much, but it did have these weird behavior issues. Just like Daemon, I thought it worked great functionally, but it felt like it got its fingers into too many things on my computer.
WindCDEmu is a really great one so far. I've used it for a couple of days now, no problem. I just wish it had some tray features and a general settings dialog.
