Choose “Virtual CD/DVD-ROM.” That will open the virtual drive the software created. Choose “Mount.” This will open an explore window. Locate the ISO file you’d like to open and choose “Open.” At this point, it will open the ISO file for you. Locate the ISO file you’d like to open. Right click the file and choose “Open With.” Select WinRAR from the list. This will open the ISO file as if it were a ZIP or RAR file.
