ok, i just bought UltraISO premium edition and im totally new to this thing .. so i was just wondering .. how do i make a bootable iso image, i dont want it on a CD yet just on my computer then i would burn it to a CD later...the product i downloaded is MS office 07 (GENIUNE) and it comes in a single folder after downloaded and i open it and then theres like 10 other folders in it and a "Setup.exe" i know to install, i would just run "setup.exe" but how do i make a bootable iso with all these folders? thanks for the help

Please do it this way:1) Start UltraISO
2) Choose 'Actions'->'Add Directory' from the main menu, and select the folder which holds MS Office 07
3) Prepare a autorun.inf file by Windows Notepad, which is a plain text file with the following information:
[autorun]
open=setup.exe
icon=setup.exe,0
4) Add the autorun.inf to root directory by pressing F3
5) Save to an ISO image

Did you add the folder of MS Office 2007 to the image area?

Instructions for step 2:- Choose 'Actions'->'Add Directory...' from main menu of UltraISO
- A popup window will appear
- Browse to the right drive letter
- Select the folder which holds MS Office 2007
- Click 'Ok' button

Please try another way:1) Start UltraISO
2) Browse to the MS OFFICE 2007 folder by build-in browser (lower panel)
3) Select all files and folders by 'Ctrl+A'
4) Drag and drop them to the image area (upper panel)

oh i get it .. for some reason when i open the office 07 folder with UltraISO i dont see the other folders inside .. maybe thats why it shows that the file size for the office 07 is not available ...

Thanks for your feedback.It seems a UAC-related problem. Please do it this way:
1) Right click on the icon of UltraISO (which should be on the desktop)
2) Choose 'Run as administrator' from the popup menu
3) UltraISO should be started
4) Choose 'Actions'-'Add Directory...' to add Office07 folder
5) Choose 'File'->'Save' to get an ISO
PS: autorun.ini is ready in the office07 folder, no need to re-create one.

UAC is disabled.
i dont understand .. it still shows that the office 07 folder doesnt contain the files it suppose to ..thus showing "no size for the folder"
umm.. i still dont understand

Please create a new folder as "C:\MSOFFICE07", move all files and folders to this directory and try again.
