Searching "virtual CD-ROM" drive which can read *.bin or *.iso files

[Peter Eisenman]

I have an *.iso resp. *.bin archive file which contains a (bootable) cd-rom image with all
the installation file of a software.

I don't want to burn this on a cd and install it from this physical medium.
Instead I want to "connect" this cd-rom drive content virtually to windows and start/install
it from such a virtaul drive.

Is this possible?
Does it matter if there are additional DOS boot files on it (besides the actual
installation files) or not?

Which virtual drive software do I need for such an operation?

Alchohol120 can do this, IIRC.

Alchohol120% should do it.
