Create a directory where you will mount the disk, say inside /media/

sudo mkdir /media/x

now mount the iso using mount command like

sudo mount -o loop <PATH_ISO> /media/x

for unmount use umount

The open it by typing acetoneiso in the dash, and click on the icon.

The click on the "Mount" button. And select the iso file to mount.

You can just double-click the ISO in the file-manager to open it. You can also right-click on it, and choose Archive Mounter, which should be the default, to open it with.

In this case, Can he install it from there? The question is because, I sometimes failed to execute from the iso. – Anwar Jul 07 '12 at 06:26
Yes. Assuming wine is installed correctly, double-clicking on an .exe in there should work as expected. If not, the mount should also be accessible in the terminal via the ~/.gvfs/ directory at this point. And it doesn't require making temporary directories, installing extra software you'll use only once, or root access with sudo. – dobey Jul 07 '12 at 15:34
@dobey have you tested this? In my testing I am unable to execute programs in Wine that are mounted with the Archive Mounter. – Caltor Oct 22 '12 at 15:46
@Caltor I can't test it reliably on 64-bit. Perhaps there are some bugs in wine or other parts, which need to be fixed. I found a MultiArch bug just trying this now, even. – dobey Oct 22 '12 at 18:14
@dobey I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit and I had to mount it from the command line for wine to see it. – Caltor Oct 22 '12 at 21:56

You can mount that iso, and then just use the files the way you want. For example:

sudo mount X.iso /media/isoimage/ -o loop

where directory isoimage exists in /media

To unmount:

sudo umount /media/isoimage

Nautilus should be able to mount isos

Try open nautilus, right-click the file and select "Disk Image Mounter". It got mounted for me. Although I couldn't mount it using other CMD ways.

Mount the ISO with:

sudo mount -o loop ~/Path to/X.iso /mnt

You may then browse to /mnt and execute your exe using Wine.
