I just finished a new utility called "unISOfs". It's a commandline based utility used to extract the contents of an ISO image to a folder on your hard drive.

Quote

Usage: unisofs <source.iso> <destination folder> <drive letter to use>

If * is specified as the drive letter then the next available drive letter will be used.
If * is specified as the destination folder then the directory where it's running from will be used.
If the path/filename for the iso image contains spaces then it must be encapsulated in "double quotes".
If the path/filename for the destination folder contains spaces then it must be encapsulated in "double qoutes".

unisofs /? --- Displays this help message

Example:

unisofs c:\ubcd4win.iso c:\test *

extracts ubcd4win.iso to the c:\test folder

unisofs c:\ubcd4win.iso * *

extracts ubcd4win.iso to the folder where unisofs is running from

unisofs c:\ubcd4win.iso * z:

same as above but uses the z: drive letter to mount the iso to while it's extracting. You should only need to do this if it has trouble determining the next available drive letter. I haven't had any trouble but I figured that I should include the option just in case.

UnIsoFS.exe

Enjoy

This utility is far from being "just for fun", or "off topic". "pcuser" has developed a freeware solution for extracting an ISO. This topic deserves to be pinned.... this new command line tool deserves it's own forum!

Did not work for me.

The following command line was used:

Quote

unisofs custom16.iso * *

Both unisofs and custom16 are in the same folder (D:\CD\test).

Explorer shows a maped drive with a question mark and no mapping and provides the following error message:

Quote

F:\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannont be located, the information might have been moved to a different location.

This error message appears immediatly after running. This message also occurs if you attemp to select the unmapped drive.

Let me know if I can be of any other assistance.

I can reproduce the error but only when I don't provide the full path to the ISO file...

Using BlackMaverick's example

unisofs custom16.iso * *

gives the error but...

unisofs D:\CD\test\custom16.iso * *

does not... so the full path to the ISO is required.

Plan A is always more effective when the device you are working on understands that Plan B involves either a large hammer or screwdriver....

I modified the code so that the command that BlackMaverick was trying will now work.

unisofs custom16.iso * *
or
unisofs "custom 16.iso" * *

This will only work if the iso image is in the same directory that unisofs is running from.

What if we drop unisofs into the path, ie. "system32"?

That way it could work from anywhere??? or am I missing something?

You could copy unisofs to a folder in your %PATH% (or better yet, include the unisofs folder in your %PATH%) so you don't have to type in the full (absolute) path/filename to launch the program everytime but the problem that BlackMaverick had should be taken care of now and I'm working on including full support for relative paths (ex ".\mydir\mycd.iso") so it'll be easier to use in batch files/scripts.

I'm unable to use it from a $PATH$ directory... I get the error that BlackMaverick had mentioned again then

I've got unisofs in the SYSTEM32 dir and I'm running the test in D:\unisofs with the UBCD33-FULL.ISO file as the test...

command-line unisofs ubcd33-full.iso

You can now use "relative" paths for both the source (iso image) and destination (output folder).

Example
unisofs .\isotest\myfile.iso ".\outdir\some folder" *

".\" refers to the directory where unisofs is running from

NOTE *** The output directory doesn't have to be an existing folder, you'll be prompted to create it if it doesn't exist.
