how to fix this error ERROR: /root/Desktop/Win10_1909_English_x64.iso : Can not open the file as archive
please help me guys
An ISO is similar to a ZIP file but there's no compression used. It's generally an exact copy of a software disc but it can also be a collection of files or folders. I use PeaZip in to open ISO files in Windows. Right click on the file, select PeaZip & then extract, or you can select "open as archive" instead to view the files without extracting.
To create an ISO, I use CDBurnerXP or ImgBurn. All 3 programs mentioned are free.
The OP didn't state which version of Linux but many of them are based on Ubuntu & should open the same way. https://itstillworks.com/open-iso-f...

To the best of my limited understanding, an ISO file is not an
archive, but an image of a disk. It can only be copied to another
disk. It cannot be opened like an archive file can.

What are you trying to do with it? I have the same ISO file sitting on my Linux desktop, 5.4GB. Right click on it & select Open With Archive Manager.
So I was completely wrong? If so I'll delete my post.

No need to delete... Helps others learn. Incidentally aren't (or is now weren't) the compressed files on a windows DVD in ISO form?
