Free ISO editing software?

[RegEdit]

I've been searching for software that will allow me to edit a .iso file (by deleting a file and then adding a replacement file within the .ISO). Everything I've found so far is $30. Am I looking far and wide enough?

Have you tried 7 Zip?

http://www.7-zip.org/

ISO's are just archives so you should be able to extract the files you want and add the new file and create a new ISO using ImgBurn

I also suggest imgburn.. its the best if you ask me. and its free

 

[RegEdit]

I use imgburn for capturing and burning iso's. But I'm slip streaming a Vista SP2 DVD. So I need to edit out the .WIM file and replace it with a newly created one. I will see if I can make 7-zip work with it.

7-zip will let you view the contents but not edit it.

I have not come across free ISO editors. I have read about this one which does not sound too expensive.

IsoBuster

You will have to enable advanced editing, adding and deleting:
Options > File System settings > File System(s) (tab) > SIG (sub tab) >check "Enable advanced file editing, deleting, adding"


This program is good for recovering files from bad disc.

Options > File System Settings > and all that... What is that in reference to? Because I don't see any such settings with 7 Zip.

If you're not opposed to using *nix, k3b will do it.

Supposedly IZArc will extract files from ISO too.

I didn't post anything about the 7 Zip program. I post about a program called IsoBuster.

IsoBuster is a free program to edit and add and delete files in a ISO image, download and install it then you will have to turn on the option "Enable advanced file editing, deleting, adding" to do this start the IsoBuster program and click on the Options menu then click File System settings then click the File System(s) tab then click the SIG sub tab you will see a check box for "Enable advanced file editing, deleting, adding" check it.

I've heard of ImgBuster. I will give that a shot....

I use the IsoBuster program to recover files from bad disc but I've never used it to write a file to a Iso file. I just turned on the "Enable advanced file editing, deleting, adding" option and I am not getting the add file menu that they show in the help for the program.

Edit:
I guess editing, deleting and adding are only available in a paid version of the program, I turned on the option but can only see and extract files.

Plenty of apps will extract the ISO to files and then I I use nlite to rebuild the bootable disk.

nLite won't work with Vista SP2. Only SP1.
