Need program to mount a compressed file as drive

[WotC]

Hi!

As i mentioned in the topic, i need a program to mount a compressed file as a drive like daemon tools can do with isos. is there any program that fits my purpose?

thx

I dont know one, but why not converting your rar or zip to iso/bin/mds ?

Hmmm, sounds not to bad. I need it to shrink all of my sources for an unattended setup. some of the dirs got quite big because of admin install points :-(. i wanted to zip/rar them and mount them when i need them for an installation! i dont want to split my ua setup and im close to 4gb right now! the question is whether i can compress the files inside an iso? i dont hink so, or? and can i mount them using daemon tools via commandline?

What you can do is to make an NTFS compressed volume image and mount it with the VDK.

See here:

Of course this cannot be bootable.

Things are still on the way about the pseudo-GUI for this purpose but command line and some of the example batches give the idea.

Compressed NTFS sounds good! Didn't even think about this! I haveto check it out. And command line is better (for my purposes) than a gui! thanks -i'l give it a try!
