Personally, since I use Linux, I simply do a "loop" mount of the ISO file.
Something like:

sudo mount file.with.doc.iso /mnt -oro,loop

I can then look in the /mnt subdirectory for the documentation. If I need to
get this on a Windows platform, then I use "zip" to zip the /mnt
subdirectory to a file and ftp it to my mainframe, then back down to the
Windows server (my Linux box is not use any Windows shares to do a direct
transfer).

Otherwise, get a DVD burner and software, and burn the ISO to a physical CD
or DVD and use that on your Windows machine. I don't know of any way to
mount an ISO file as a subdirectory in Windows.
