How can I install software from an ISO file using APTonCD from USB?

Well, I have an ISO of all the software installed using APTonCD. My friend is using a PC with not working CD drive, so can anyone tell me how do I install the apps on his PC using the ISO?

    Well, you can copy that ISO file onto a jumpdrive and actually mount it on your friends computer.

    Video on how to mount the iso with the “mount” command:

        It is a nice trick to have, especially with no internet access. Of course in Windows 8 you will actually be able right click the ISO and mount it directly, out of the box, no extra software.
