How to Download and Install DreamSpark Software

Microsoft software from DreamSpark comes packaged in large, single files with .ISO or .IMG extensions. These files are “images” (exact copies) of the CD or DVD media on which the software would be shipped. (The name ISO refers to the standardized file format used for disc images.)

Since Microsoft software from DreamSpark often comes packaged in large ISO files (with file sizes on the order of gigabytes), downloading from the server with no download management system may cause your download to fail with no way to resume it. You may have experienced this if your connection timed out or if you ran out of disk space during a large download.

To address this issue, DreamSpark recommends the use of the Akamai Download Manager to steadily deliver the software to your computer. In the event that your connection to the server is reset, the progress you made on the download will not be lost.

Tip: If you have an external hard drive, download the large ISO images to it to conserve valuable disk space on your PC.

Akamai Download Manager

If you are using Internet Explorer, you will be able to install this tool as an ActiveX control on the way to downloading the software.

IMPORTANT: If you are using a browser other than Internet Explorer (including Netscape, Firefox, Opera, and others) you will need to manually install the Download Manager tool.

Now that Akamai Download Manager is installed, you can download software from DreamSpark.

WINDOWS VISTA USERS
If you are using Windows Vista, the built-in User Account Control feature will not allow you to download directly into system-owned folders. This means you must create your own directory for Download Manager DreamSpark downloads.

When your download is complete, you will have the ISO file to deal with. At this point, you have two options: mount the image, or burn it to a CD or DVD.

Installing Software from ISO Images

Option 1: Burning a Disc

If you need to create a bootable disc, or just want to create a “hard copy” of the software you’ve downloaded, it is a good idea to burn the image to disc.

Depending on the size of the file, you can use a CD or a DVD. Most software available through DreamSpark is too large to fit on a CD, so using blank DVDs is good practice.

You need the following items to burn the ISO image to a disc:

• • A CD/DVD drive capable of writing DVDs (look for a DVD/R or DVD/RW symbol)
  • A blank, writeable DVD compatible with your DVD writer
  • A software program capable of burning a disc from an image file

Most CD / DVD authoring programs provide the capability to burn a disc from an image. Some freeware tools are available, such as ISO Recorder . Manufacturers of popular programs with this capability include Nero and Roxio . A list of other programs for managing ISO files can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_image

Using ISO Recorder to burn an image to disc

ISO Recorder is not a program you can launch, but an extension to the Windows shell. It allows you to right-click on an ISO image and choose Copy Image to CD, as shown below:

Selecting Copy image to CD will display a dialog titled CD Recording Wizard (or DVD Recording Wizard if it is a DVD ISO and you are running Vista). You can accept the defaults here and choose Next. Within a few minutes, your CD will be done!

Using Nero 7 Ultra Edition to burn an image to disc

1. Start Nero Burning ROM by navigating to Start menu | Program Files | Nero 7 Ultra Edition | Data | Nero Burning ROM…
2. On the New Compilation screen, press Cancel.
3. From the Recorder menu, choose Burn Image…
4. Browse to the ISO or IMG file you downloaded from MSDNAA and click Open.
5. Click Burn to start the burn process.

Voila! A Disc Copy of the Software

Now that you’ve burned your ISO to a DVD, you can treat it as if you bought the software in the store. Just insert it into your DVD drive and install as you would any other program.

Tip: By using the Burn ISO Image feature of your DVD authoring software, you can create bootable discs without worrying about special settings (in the case of operating systems, for example).

Option 2: Mounting the ISO Image

If you don’t want to go to the trouble of burning a disc, you can mount the ISO image using third-party tools.

IF YOU DOWNLOADED AN OPERATING SYSTEM… … such as Windows Vista, XP, Server, etc., do not attempt to mount the image in your current operating system to install it. A mounted drive is “remembered” by the operating system and the mounting tools, but will not exist between system reboots.   If you are trying to install an operating system, always burn a DVD and make sure the BIOS is configured to attempt to boot from the DVD drive as part of the boot sequence.

Mounting is the process of temporarily creating a virtual drive on your computer with the contents of the ISO package loaded in it, as if you had inserted a DVD into your existing DVD drive. Third-party tools are required to mount an ISO image. Most common CD and DVD authoring tools will allow you to mount an ISO image, and many freeware utilities are available as well (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_image)

Daemon Tools is a free and popular tool that allows you to mount ISO images. https://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php

Microsoft also has a free tool that you can use to mount an ISO image, available at the link below.
https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/b/6/7b6abd84-7841-4978-96f5-bd58df02efa2/winxpvirtualcdcontrolpanel_21.exe

Using DAEMON Tools

Follow these steps to mount an image using DAEMON tools.

1. Download DAEMON Tools for your current operating system from the following link:
   https://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php
2. Install DAEMON Tools. A system reboot will be required to set up the virtual disc environment.
3. Reboot your computer when prompted to do so.
4. DAEMON Tools installation will continue after your operating system starts up. You may receive some warnings notifying you that the setup is trying to continue. Allow the setup to continue.
5. Choose the options you want to install. You need the core files and the shortcuts. The Search Bar is optional advertising which you can safely avoid installing.
6. From now on, you will be able to mount ISO images by right-clicking the DAEMON Tools icon in your taskbar and following this menu sequence:
   Virtual CD/DVD ROM | Device 0: [Letter:] | Mount image
   Notice what drive letter you are mounting to.
7. This will bring up a dialog box allowing you to browse to and open image files. Select the .ISO or .IMG file you downloaded from MSDNAA and click Open to mount the image.
8. You can now access the image as if it were a CD or DVD by going to My Computer (or Computer in Vista) and double-clicking, auto-running, or exploring the contents of the virtual drive (the drive letter is the same as the one you noted above).

Running Software from a Mounted ISO Image

Once your ISO file is mounted, you will see a new drive show up in your My Computer (XP) or Computer (Vista) pane. You can interact with this virtual drive as if you had a CD loaded in it – by right clicking it and choosing AutoPlay, or by Exploring it and choosing Setup.exe, and so forth.

When installing the software, make sure to follow any instructions on the virtual CD, especially readme files.

 

Burning a Disc versus Mounting the Image

Are you unsure whether you should burn a disc or mount the image? Use the chart below to help you decide based on the purpose and type of the download.

  I have followed the Daemon Tools to the letter but can't get it to open. The iso image is 3gb on my desktop but the G drive says "please insert a disk" even though I have mounted the iso file to that drive. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Meanwhile I shall try from IE rather than the original Firefox..

  so, i've downloaded an ISO file, used D-tools to Mount the Image onto a Virtual HD. the drive won't boot as it "Cannot Find Clusters in D:/ or K:/" so far, i've used ISOMaker, Undisker, MagicISO, Nero and MagicDisk to rectify these anomaly's. but none of these 'highly recommended' programmes can solve this problem. i've even tried, after kicking myself for not thinking of this brilliant solution earlier, to make a 'Bootable' Disc... only for the  Disc to NOT WORK at all. Please, i need some help. i want this ISO image to run properly. its just sitting there, in my folders, getting covered in cyber-dust..

  Phantom CD (free) works very well. Google for it and install it. The computer must be rebooted after install to finish driver installation. Then you can right click the ISO and click 'Mount in Phantom CD' and it will be the new CD drive in My Computer/Computer.

  It appears that the problem was with WindowsLive rules about the email addresses it allows to be used as an ID. My school email follows the pattern first.last@student.bellevuecollege.edu I kept getting an error about the domain being a reserved address or something like that. Through some trial and error, I discovered that WindowsLive didn't like the period after "student" in the address. I tried using my gmail account instead and had no trouble setting up the WindowsLive account. Once I'd done that I was able to follow the link to activate the DreamSpark account (I had already been verified by JouneyEd using my school address). I entered the key, and it worked just fine. I just assumed that we had to use the same email address for both the verification process and the WindowsLive ID, but I guess not. The issue with the period in the domain name seems like a kind of stupid glitch in the WindowsLive system, if you ask me. The very least that they could do is have a more descriptive and explanatory error message. I haven't tried to download anything yet, but at least now I can log on finally.

  To everyone confused about the license key, back when you downloaded the software, via the download manager or web browser, there was an icon you can click on to get the key. It's called "get key" and it's just to the left of and below the download icons. Once you sign in, you can go there and get the key.

After double-clicking the shortuct all I kept getting was an error telling me there was a shortuct on my desktop (Grrrr! That's what I'm using). Eventually solved this by reloading the dreamspark webpage, selecting Visual Studio 8 and the download manager option. The manager then promptly resumed correctly.

  If you pulled down a .IMG file - Windows Server 2008 R2 for example - you can simply change the extension from .IMG to .ISO and let your favorite ISO software burn the image to disc. I'm using CyberLink's Power2Go which was preinstalled on my laptop.

  I want to install Windows Server 2008 R2 on a new external hard drive (not on my laptop drive).  Does anyone know how to do this?  (I already changed the IMG extension to ISO.)  I can copy the ISO file to a DVD with Power2Go but am not sure whether to make the disk bootable or not.

  Installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 asks me for a driver. It doesn't say which one. Installation won't proceed without it.

   I dloaded VS2013 Professional - and I also end up with a 6gb .sdc file and NO INSTRUCTIONS on what to do with it.!!!!   Does Microsoft want us to keep using MIcrosoft products ?  If so - this is the wrong way to go about it.
