Re: LinuxMint Windows installer...

The mint4win installer is based off ubuntu's wubi. From the http://wubi-installer.org FAQ:
Can I use an existing ISO/CD instead of letting Wubi download a new one?

Yes, physical CDs will be detected automatically, pre-downloaded ISOs should be placed in the same folder as Wubi.exe. Please note tha Wubi 8.10 requires the Desktop 8.10 CD/ISO. The DVD and Altrenate CD/ISO will not work. You can find the 8.10 ISO here. If Wubi does not find an appropriate ISO/CD and/or if the ISO/CD is corrupted, it will automatically download a new ISO. It is recommended to let Wubi download the ISO for you.

in that case, I'd suggest you unmounted the iso and move the installer to the same directory, as in the FAQ, then try again, and see if it autodetects now.
