It is impossible to "mount a folder".

[oldman777]

When using "Open" in imgdrive context menu and "My Computer", "Open", an empty field only. Possible to open via "File explorer" and "Sector wiever" only.

[oldman777]

When you try to open the folder, the window appears: Still is in 1.6.2.

[imgdrive]

For every folder?

I have met this issue several times while mounting a .iso files, it can view the file in File Explorer and Sector Viewer, but cannot open in Windows Explorer, but after mount some other files, then everything is OK, a weird issue, i will review source code to see where goes wrong.

[oldman777]

Yes, for every folder.

[oldman777]

For what purpose at all do need the feature "Mount folder"?

[imgdrive]

Rarely.

maybe mount DVD/Blu-ray folder as a disc, some players are not allowed to play movie under a folder. or to quick test disc authoring, especially when the disc has lots of data.

in future, will support mount a audio folder as Audio CD, then do not need .cue, just drag a folder to ImgDrive.

[oldman777]

Got it. Thanks.

[imgdrive]

please check whether this issue still exist in version 1.6.3: http://download.yubsoft.com/ImgDrive_1.6.3.exe

[oldman777]

1.6.3 for "Mount folder" for any folder still blank window:

[imgdrive]

Please try v1.6.5: https://download.yubsoft.com/ImgDrive_1.6.5.exe

@dvdforge

Thanks for the new version. Could be possible to translate the operation messages like

Extract Set autorun

etc?

[imgdrive]

@bovirus Will add those strings in future, it's hard-coded in source code now.

if the new installer goes well after released, i will sort out these strings.

[oldman777]

I still have an empty window for 1.6.5.

[imgdrive]

Wow, this is the biggest lady bug i ever met.

[oldman777]

It can be a conflict with the drivers "Alcohol"?

[imgdrive]

If Alcohol is running, please exit Alcohol, and check whether it's OK.

[oldman777]

Running Alcohol or not, it is still impossible to mount the folder. I meant that the drivers "Alcohol" installed in the system can have to do with this?

[imgdrive]

I don't think so, bad design to do TEST_UNIT_READY/GET_EVENT_STATUS in kernel.

Whether works if open "Hide unmounted drives"?

[oldman777]

Whether works if open "Hide unmounted drives"?

Not worked.

[imgdrive]

Weird

whether works to mount plaza-the.station.iso if open "Hide unmounted drives"?

[oldman777]

Did I understand correctly?

[imgdrive]

Yes.

Is this issue only happen for this iso and "Mount Folder"?

And the MD5 of the plaza-the.station.iso is: 21CDFBD9A53951ABFE89527542943100 ?

[imgdrive]

I can reproduce this issue after installed Alcohol 52% in vmware, thank u.

[oldman777]

Is this issue only happen for this iso and "Mount Folder"?

Yes.

And the MD5 of the plaza-the.station.iso is: 21CDFBD9A53951ABFE89527542943100 ?

And, yes.

plaza-the.station.iso CRC-32: f27e6b72 MD4: 94ab30acf84ea211bde5b936e16e11f2 MD5: 21cdfbd9a53951abfe89527542943100 SHA-1: e9ac4863957c834a2f0617258f85ddae044dd843

[oldman777]

I closed issue https://github.com/dvdforge/imgdrive_translations/issues/34 Mount Folder and station.iso this is the same issue.

[oldman777]

Found two more ISO images with the same issue.

[imgdrive]

After done many tests, i found this issue was caused by sptd.sys. If has Alcohol or Daemon tools installed, will change READ DISC INFO behavior, the INPUT was changed to OUTPUT, if hook the driver stack: udfs -> stpd it should be: udfs -> storport

BTW: Even you uninstalled Alcohol, the sptd.sys/dtproscsibus.sys still there and in working, after delete it manually and reboot, then everything is OK.

[imgdrive]

sptd.sys is mysterious, the file is encrypted, and dislike to be uninstalled, it works like a black hole.

I am curious whether Alcohol support Windows 10, in order to support Windows 10, need submit your driver to Microsoft hardware dashboard to sign a driver, if you submit a encrypted driver which as sptd.sys does, Microsoft will refuse.

I will try to find a workaround for this issue...

[imgdrive]

@oldman777 latest v1.7.0 beta doesn't fix this issue, still finding the solution...

[oldman777]

Got it, thanks.

[oldman777]

ImgDrivePortable_x64_1.7 - no issue for station.iso.

[oldman777]

For ImgDrive_1.7.0.exe - no issue for station.iso and Mount Folder.

[imgdrive]

@oldman777 I have just tested this, it seems disappear indeed, i am sure this issue exist with the debug build yesterday, weird.

I don't know what sptd.sys does internal, but this issue is really a biggest weird issue i ever meet. No matter what, i am very happy it's disappear, hope it's never come back :-)

[oldman777]

We leave this issue open to check in future versions. Thank you.
