Prior to version 2.5.1.0, the program was freeware. From version 2.5.1.0 to 2.5.7.0, Ask.com adware was included in the installer.[4] This was replaced in version 2.5.8.0 with OpenCandy adware.[5] Only the version of the installer distributed directly from imgburn.com contains OpenCandy; the version distributed via the official mirror sites is adware-free. No notice is present on www.imgburn.com that the checksums/hashes provided now only match the OpenCandy version of the installer; however, the author of the program has provided the expected hash values for the adware-free version on the support forum.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
The problem with this is that in finalizing the disk it appears that a new serial number is written to the disk which is derived from the date and time on the real-time clock on the current computer at the time of a disk's formatting. This means that the catalog that is burnt to that disk references the wrong serial number and the internal links to view the files wont work.
ImgBurn Serial Key
So my question is this. Is there any way of setting this serial number or better still, have the software use the number that was generated at the time that the initial files were added - ie not change that number when finalizing the disk? This would mean that the disk serial number stored in the catalog would be correct and files would launch from within the catalog reader included on the archive disk.
It's irritating that you can't edit files in an ISO file directly, but fortunately burning files to a new ISO is really easy. I installed ImgBurn (also available on Chocolatey - cinst imgburn) in seconds, then opened it and selected the "Create Image File From Files/Folders" 2ff7e9595c
