How can I mount an ISO file on Windows 7 to install software that reboots during install?

Question

I have Windows 7.

I downloaded the Visual Studio Express 2010 beta ISO file.

In installed Virtual Clone Drive and mounted the above ISO file as a drive.

I installed from that drive, but upon the necessary reboot, it couldn't find the drive, even after I mounted it again and clicked Try Again, it still couldn't find the file and hence had to cancel the install.

Is there a way to mount an ISO file in Windows 7, perhaps natively so that it will deal well with the during-install-reboot?

I've been able to do something like that using Daemon tools: http://www.daemon-tools.cc/eng/home

Just make sure you have enabled the 'auto mount' option. Do this via the right click menu in the taskbar try icon after you install it

I did this while installing VS2010 using Pismo File Mount. When it rebooted it asked for the disk which it couldn't see in the drive. However, just remounted the file and hit "Try Again". No worries...
