You can mount ISOs directly on linux with the loop option and module:

and on Windows directly:

and that may make them visible in Cygwin.

But i cant install virt-manager to use iso files.
In it can open iso files.
I cant install virt-manager from cygwin any new or old installers, they all
download latest mirror file list and it doesnt have python2 needed for
installing virt-manager.
What I believe Brian was trying to tell you is that you don't have to
have virt-manager in order to mount and use ISO files under Windows.
Once the ISO drive is mounted, it should be visible to Cygwin as an
ordinary drive under /cygdrive according to its drive letter.
This does not make virt-manager work; instead it avoids the need for
it.
Thanks Eliot,
Indeed, that is what I was trying to point out, and if by "use" you really mean
*boot* into a VM from an ISO, virt-manager is not the only way to get VMs
running, most VM hosts provide their own VMM and boot to at least install from
ISO files.
