Why would you want to install a Windows application that does what your OS already has the ability to do natively or with native applications?

So my OS can download ISOS and make them appear as ISOS?
I didn't know that.

You can't run Windows programs (no matter what they are) on Linux, anymore than you can run Mac software on Windows. And Linux already has all the tools you need to mount/burn ISO images.

xcb is X11 stuff; if you're using Wayland, you might need to install some more X11-related packages. For what it's worth, it wouldn't run here either.
Code:
jayjwa@atr2 ~/D/poweriso-x64> ./poweriso.sh
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in "."
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "."
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: xcb (from .).

./poweriso.sh: line 3: 26927 Aborted                 ./poweriso
You'd probably get further with native tools. To get at the contents of an ISO:
Code:
root@atr2 /mnt # mount -o loop /var/tmp/slackware64-15.0-install-dvd.iso dvd

To burn an ISO to disk (cdrecord usually finds the right drive):
Code:
cdrecord -v -dao Rescatux0.74-boot-img.iso
See cdparanoia for audio ripping, and growisofs/mkisofs for ISO mastering. Most of these commands require root permission. If you are using RPCS3, just mounting it in the proper location is enough. If you are using Qemu or similar, you can feed the ISO to the simulated system as a drive.
