Daemon Tools 4.0 and awxDTools

[Prospero424]

Does anyone know of any way to get awxDTools working with the new version?

Is it already working for any of you?

Is there any comparable program out there that will allow right-click mounting with the new version?

Thanks!

You've to wait for v4 compatible version of 3rd party add-ons.

I'm going back to the version prior to v3.47.

awxDTools IMO is a NEEDED feature that DT needs to incorporate. Why? Mounting images over a network that are multi dirs thick SUCKS. But having a right click/mount feature kicks ass!

[Bamse]

already did

You already did what, waited or gone to 3.47?

use .bat files to load your images.

I use this to mount Far Cry mini image:

----------------------------------
FAR CRY - MOUNT PROCEDURE

cd C:\program files\daemon tools\

start daemon.exe -mount 0, "C:\documents and settings\administrator\my documents\Games\farcry.mds"
----------------------------------

Unmount Procedure:

----------------------------------
FAR CRY UMOUNT PROCEDURE

cd C:\program files\daemon tools\

start daemon.exe -unmount 0
----------------------------------

You have to set at least one vdrive for this to work manually via dt, and also uncheck secure mode. if secure mode is on, the it'll ask for confirmation everytime.

match the program folder to the same as your pc, and the file paths.

NOTE: im only using this until a new version of daemon script comes out.

The help file isn't 100% clear.

wouah ! thanx you very much for this tip. It really works...
noobs:
1)Click Start then Execute or simply [WIN]+R
2)type the 3 letters cmd (=command) and press ENTER
3)just follow the mount procedure given by al1uk

You could have a look at this, too.

I use a batch file like this :
@echo off
start /wait /D"C:\Applications\DAEMON Tools\" daemon.exe -mount 1,"C:\somegameiso"
start /wait /D"C:\somegamefolder" somegame.exe
start /wait /D"C:\Applications\DAEMON Tools\" daemon.exe -unmount 1
exit

This will mount your game, wait while it runs, then unmount the image again. It will do it on your second virtual drive. To use the first change the 1s to 0s.

Something thats worked for me is to set up an association between DT and the .mds file type (can set one up for other file types also).

1) To do this follow these steps:
under windows explorer go to Tools->Folder Options.

2) File types tab.

3) If you don't have an mds type there already, click on the 'new' button and put in mds (or other filetype) into the "File Extension:" box, then
OK.

4) Now select the MDS Extension in the list, and click on "advanced".

5) Set an Icon if you wish to.

6) Press "New...". In the "Action" box give it some name, I called it mount. In the "Application used to perform action: box, browse to daemon.exe, then after it (outside of the quotes) add -mount,"%1". Then hit OK.

You have now associated MDS files to mount on DT device0. When you right-click an MDS file you'll have the "mount' option (or whatever you called the action on the menu.

If you have multiple devices, you can add new actions under advanced, call them for example mount1, mount2, mount3 and use the same application line as above, but changing -mount 0 to 1, 2, 3 for the appropriate device.

Hope this helps.

Fastmount works just great for me.
