linux is not like windows here is try this ISO image can be mounted just like any device or file system,

Create a mount point for the ISO:

BASH# mkdir /mnt/iso

Now mount the ISO in the mount point with the following command:

BASH# mount diskiso.iso /mnt/iso/ -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0

Where diskiso.iso is your ISO file.

• mount -t iso9660 -o loop image.iso /mnt/isoimage
  where image.iso is the filename of the ISO image and /mnt/isoimage is the directory under which you want the ISO's files to appear (create it if necessary).
  
• After doing this, you will be able to navigate through the ISO's files, starting from /mnt/isoimage, just as you would any other files in your file system, but with one exception: all of the files and directories mounted from the ISO will be read-only.
  
• When you are finished looking at the files, unmount the ISO with
  umount /mnt/isoimage

CDemu for Linux is very similar to Daemon Tools for windows. It allows you to mount a bin/cue CD image as a virtual CDROM. Pretty handy for those who don't have the disk space to use bin2iso anyway.

try PowerISO right now and try it out. I think don't go for WINE to run emulator and also run the application that's mounted in the emulator. PowerISO is best for large size image also.

You can also use a third party software to mount linux iso images. This may make your work more simple...

Hi...
I have information regarding that ISO image in linux so i wanna share that with you....An ISO image is an archive file (disk image) of an optical disc using a conventional ISO (International Organization for Standardization) format. ISO image files typically have a file extension of .ISO. The name "ISO" is taken from the ISO 9660 file system used with CD-ROM media, but an ISO image can also contain UDF file system because UDF is backward-compatible to ISO 9660.
You can mount an ISO images via the loop device under Linux. It is possible to specify transfer functions (for encryption/decryption or other purposes) using loop device.
