Mounting Disk Images under Windows without Adminrights

Post by Legend »

In context to http://www.osdev.org/osfaq2/index.php/Disk%20Images%20Under%20Windows

How can I use the tools that mount the image without having administrator rights?
Or have I just overlooked one that can be used well in batch processing (make) and does not need to mount anything?

You can probably never mount them without administrator rights. That doesn't mean you can't make it look for yourself as if they were.

You can make a program that mounts it in itself, then displays a windows-explorer-like display and allows you to drag&drop in/out. That'd pretty much allow the same

also, try commandline programs that just say addfiletofat32 image file path_in_image
or something :)

The explorer like thing was what I wanted to avoid so that I can perform the process of copying files automatically.

It could be both (explorer or command line).
