The ISO images are not meant to be `extracted' (whatever is meant by
that word). Try writing an ISO image to a CDROM disk and use the disk
to view what's in that ISO image. You might have hit a bug in WinISO.
Quoting winiso.com:
WinISO is a CD-ROM image file utility that can convert BIN to ISO,
extract/edit/create ISO files directly, make bootable CDs and as
a BIN/ISO converter/extractor/editor.
I suppose by `extract' they mean read the contents of an ISO image and
create a directory hierarchy somewhere on the local disk that is a
mirror of the ISO image contents. It really looks like a bug of
WinISO to me...
