Mount/unmount an ISO (VHD) file in a Windows 10/11 cmd script

Prerequisite : Powershell store cmdlet
Input parameter : the variable img contains the full path to the ISO(VHD) file
Output parameter : iso contains the drive letter: of the mounted image on a virtual drive

Mount an ISO(VHD) file :

Code:

for /f "usebackq" %%? in (`powershell "(Mount-DiskImage -ImagePath '%img%' -PassThru|Get-Volume).DriveLetter"`) do set "iso=%%?:"

Unmount the ISO(VHD) file :

Code:

powershell DisMount-DiskImage -ImagePath '%img%' >nul

Admin is required for VHD files

Here is an example of a cmd script; adapt to your needs.
The scripts proposes the use of subroutines.

Code:

@echo off
rem set /p img="Enter the full path of the ISO image : "
set "img=c:\cd-rom\windows 11\22621.1194.230121-0244.NI_RELEASE_SVC_PROD3_CLIENTMULTI_X64FRE_FR-FR_FIXED_2023_01_28.ISO"

echo;&echo *** One-liner code  to mount an ISO ***&echo;
for /f "usebackq" %%? in (`powershell "(Mount-DiskImage -ImagePath '%img%' -PassThru|Get-Volume).DriveLetter"`) do set "iso=%%?:"
Echo Mounted ISO drive letter : %iso%&timeout 3 >nul
echo *** One-liner code  to unmount an ISO ***
powershell DisMount-DiskImage -ImagePath '%img%' >nul&timeout 3 >nul

echo;&echo *** Mount an ISO using a subroutine ***&echo;
call :mount_iso "%img%" iso
Echo Mounted ISO drive letter : %iso%&timeout 3 >nul
echo *** Unmount an ISO using a subroutine ***
call :unmount_iso "%img%" &timeout 3 >nul
goto :term
rem
:mount_iso
for /f "usebackq" %%? in (`powershell "(Mount-DiskImage -ImagePath '%1' -PassThru|Get-Volume).DriveLetter"`) do set "%~2=%%?:"
exit /b
rem
:unmount_iso
powershell DisMount-DiskImage -ImagePath '%1' >nul
exit /b
rem
:term
