My OS formerly mounted ISOs with an Enter or double-click in File Explorer.
Now I get an error
Most remedies from a quick Google search don't apply:
I got the updated install media from Microsoft (2012 R2 Update, the server edition 8.1 Update), wiped the hard drive, installed it, and fully updated it, expecting it to work.
To my shock, it does not.
I'm beginning to think an update or a driver is at fault here, since I haven't installed anything unusual.
If anyone can solve this problem for me, then it would be utterly heroic.
It's been bugging me a while.
Now I get an error
Most remedies from a quick Google search don't apply:
- the ISO files don't have a sparse flag set , so
Code:
fsutil sparse setflag filename 0
- the native Windows handler is already set as default, hence the above error
- utilities like 7-zip can open these files
- non-native ISO mounters can mount these files
-
Code:
sfc /scannow
-
Code:
[FONT=Verdana]dism /cleanup-image /online /restorehealth[/FONT]
- the OS was installed yesterday
- Microsoft Security Essentials isn't the issue (I just checked a virtual machine running only my version of the OS and MSE: it can mount ISOs); MSE is necessary since the server edition doesn't include a built-in AV
