I followed some tips in one of the posts here about creating a portable ultraISO by installing ultraISO v9.3.1 on a desktop and copying its whole folder, including the "drivers" folder, to an empty folder on another desktop. I also copied ultraISO.ini to the portable folder.

After opening the application, I checked out the configurations and found them OK, except for the "virtual drive" tab under the "Options > Configuration". I found that everything under the "virtual drive" tab was greyed out, and when I pressed F6 (the mounting function), a prompt was displayed saying "No virtual CD/DVD drive found!".

Please could someone give me advice as to what had happened and how to solve this problem.

Many thanks in advance.

I have sorted this out now. It was my own misunderstanding. On retest, it worked perfectly.

Please allow me to ask another question. In a portable environment, can I exclude the following files from my USB drive: isoshell.dll, ultraiso.ico, and ISODrv64.sys, and what are these files used for?

Thanks

It is recommandeded to keep all files unless you know which file(s) is not needed.

Many thanks, xoben. The reason I asked is that I read somewhere in this forum about creating a portable UltraISO in which it advised files to be copied from the installed folder included "ultraISO.exe" and the "Drivers" sub-folder. However, it made no mention of copying any other files.
