This should be a simple thing but wow, I am running into brick wall after brick wall.
I am a Microsoft partner and have a MAPS subscription so I download internal-use software from the MS website. All files are in .img format. Oddly enough, Huper-V under 2008 R2 seems to only support mounting .iso files. Kinda lame since their main download format seems to be .img, at least from the Partner download portals.
In some cases I can just rename the file from .img to .iso and it works. Or of course I can burn .img to a DVD but my goal here is to have the convenience of an archive of .iso files I can mount to any virutal machine as needed. I haven't played with too many converters yet, but the first and only one I've tried, called IMG to ISO (www.imgtoiso.com) did not work, gives an error immediately after I click Convert saying it can't create the vdisk.
Before I start hitting the shareware sites and DVD ripping forums etc, I was wondering is there a "Microsoft way" of handling this?
I'd love to know why they put .img files up there to begin with since Hyper-V doesn't even support them. :|
Thanks all.
