I don’t think the problem is with the extractor tool, I download the .ISO, burn it to DVD using native tool in windows 7.
After the burn finish, I can install the SQL server 2012 in windows 7 without problem, but when I tried to install it in windows 2008 R2 server, it gave me the ”File Format is not valid” message.
I think if the tool corrupt some files, the error message will also appear in windows 7, but it is not.

I normally use the freeware – SlySoft Virtual Clone Drive – http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html to “mount” the ISO image and use it as a virtual CD/DVD drive.

Quite frankly, while Microsoft ships quite a large amount of it’s products via ISOs, it does not natively provide the ability to mount the ISO file. I found a Connect post that is marked as “Won’t Fix” – http://connect.microsoft.com/WindowsServerFeedback/feedback/details/351231/mount-iso-files

For XP users, the solution in the form of a Virtual CD Control Panel – http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/b/6/7b6abd84-7841-4978-96f5-bd58df02efa2/winxpvirtualcdcontrolpanel_21.exe
However, please note that Vista and Windows 7 users will need the compatibility mode ON to use the Virtual CD control panel – where 3rd party products win without a doubt.
