Should I attempt to install Imgburn?

Ashampoo free is a great free burning tool.

Yes it is. I have an older version of it on my laptop. I keep the older version because it includes a labeling function that includes Lightscribe label burning. The newer versions do not have the labeler any more. I might try the new one on this machine though and If I like it, I may dump BurnAware.

Download the imgburn setup exe.

Open the exe with 7zip as if it were an archive.

Extract the the imgburn.exe and the sounds folder.

Don't install it.


Or you can use my portable version I made. Link

I tried the free version of Ashampoo but uninstalled it because it can not create bootable discs. BurnAware and ImgBurn both can.

My older version of Ashampoo on my win 7 laptop can as well and also includes the labeler program. I think it's version 12 but may even be 11. They offered it on special because it was a full version of the previous release and then they tried to get you to buy the new one. You had to ask for a unique key to activate it. They don't do it that way any more. Now they give you a stripped down version and want you to upgrade it. I guess the old way didn't result in enough sales.
