No, I just changed the extension to ISO and double clicked, using the native ISO mounting functionality.

Can't test with MS bookshelf as there doesn't appear to be an ISO provided

I ripped the CD of bookshelf as a MDF

It was really fun taking these old CD-ROM's disc images, and actually manipulating the data. I didn't expect to get anything and I was really surprised that it worked.
