Daemon access denied. No access to DAEMON Tools image file

Of course, the solution to this program is elementary, since the computer does not have the NET Framework 4.5.2 program without this add-on DAEMON Tools Lite does not work.

Knowing this in practice, I again encountered this error and decided to write a short blog of my actions, I will eliminate the error as things go, in the end it should be resolved. First of all, as I said, I will install the framework; I already have the DAEMON Tools Lite program installed.

1. NET Framework 4.5.2 (Required installation) This option did not help me, although without this program DAEMON Tools Lite would not have been installed.

3. I decided to download DAEMON Tools Lite 10 from the official website in the demo version and install it instead of a license or “pirate”, so to speak, in order to screw up the system. Check the “Free license” box. And we establish, as required to prove, that the program worked 100%. All images and drives work great.

And now to the results, it makes sense to use some kind of “Licenses in quotes” if the program is free, there are no annoying banners on the sides that occasionally pop up, they don’t interfere with the work, my advice is to download the free program right away if you only need to create a drive and run the image , also in the free version, you are allowed to create your own images, these basic functions are enough for the average user.

What is generally needed to install and resolve the error: access is denied

1. Good repack
2. NET Framework 4.5.2 program
3. Installing DAEMON Tools Lite drivers for mounting images
4. Restart your computer
5. Run as Administrator

Unfortunately, there are no computer programs that work all the time without failures. Sooner or later, problems can arise when using any software. A common error in DAEMON Tools is the message that the disk image cannot be accessed.

Causes of the problem and their correction

If DAEMON Tools Pro displays "Access Denied", then the problem is most likely in the image file that the user is trying to open. It may be corrupted or occupied by another application. In rare cases, a crash occurs due to problems with the program itself.

Reason 1: The image is being used by another program

This error may be due to the fact that the document being opened is already being used by another program on the computer. If someone else “borrows” the image file, then DAEMON Tools cannot access it. Most often, this is the torrent client with which it was downloaded. So try closing it.

An alternative option is to restart the computer. In this case, all processes will be turned off, including those that interact with the desired document.

Reason 2: The image file is corrupted

If you still cannot access the DAEMON Tools image file, then perhaps the problem lies within it. The program is unable to process damaged or underloaded documents. In this case, the only solution is to completely delete the image and start a new download.

Reason 3: Wrong file

Sometimes not one document is loaded, but several. For example, a large file with the ISO extension and a small one with the MDX format (maybe MDS).
They store information about the image. In this case, try opening not the main document, but an auxiliary document. Sometimes this helps avoid the error about lack of access.

Reason 4: DAEMON Tools crashed

What to do if other options for solving the problem are not suitable? It would be logical to assume that the problem is not related to the disk image, but to the program itself. For example, with damage to the virtual disk drive driver or violation of the integrity of important data. Then the only available solution is to reinstall the software. Removal is carried out in a standard way, and you can find details of the installation procedure in our article “DAEMON Tools Lite”.

Almost any program during its operation can generate an error or start working incorrectly. This problem has not spared such a wonderful program as . While working with this program, the following error may occur: “There is no access to the DAEMON Tools image file.” What to do in this situation and how to solve the problem - read on.


An error like this can occur in several cases.

There is a possibility that the file is blocked by another application. For example, it could be the torrent client you downloaded this image from.

In this case, the solution would be to turn off this program. If you don’t know what program caused the blocking, then restart your computer - this will 100% remove the blocking from the file.

The image is damaged

It is possible that the image you downloaded from the Internet is damaged. Or it has already been damaged on your computer. Download the image again and try opening it again. If the image is popular – i.e. If this is some kind of game or program, then you can download a similar image from another place.

Problem with DAEMON Tools

This rarely happens, but there may be a problem with the program itself or with the SPDT driver, which is necessary for the application to work correctly. Reinstall Daimon Tools.

Perhaps you should open .mds or .mdx

Images are often divided into two files - the image itself with the .iso extension and files with information about the image with the .mdx or .mds extensions. Try opening one of the last two files.

This concludes the list of the most famous problems associated with the “Cannot access the DAEMON Tools image file” error. If these tips did not help you, then the problem may lie in the storage medium (hard drive or flash drive) on which the image is located. Check the functionality of the media with specialists.
