Option One

Find File Path Location of Specific Mounted ISO and IMG using Get-Volume Command

Get-Volume (Storage)

Use this topic to help manage Windows and Windows Server technologies with Windows PowerShell.
learn.microsoft.com

1 Open Windows Terminal, and select either Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt.

2 Type the appropriate command below into Windows Terminal, and press Enter. (see screenshots below)

Windows PowerShell:​
Get-Volume <drive letter> | Get-DiskImage | Select-Object ImagePath​

OR​

Command Prompt:​
PowerShell "Get-Volume <drive letter> | Get-DiskImage | Select-Object ImagePath"​

Substitute <drive letter> in the commands above with the actual drive letter (ex: "E") of the mounted ISO or IMG you want to know the file path location of.

For example:
Get-Volume E | Get-DiskImage | Select-Object ImagePath

PowerShell "Get-Volume E | Get-DiskImage | Select-Object ImagePath"

This can also be done using CMD via the registry, however, if you have multiple images mounted, it will show all drive letters (You would need to check the contents of each in the case of multiple mounted images, i.e. for a Windows ISO you would check for IF EXIST %%#\Sources\install.wim dosomethinghere)

ShowMountedISO-DriveLetters.cmd
Batch: 
FOR /f "tokens=3 delims=\:" %%# IN ('REG query HKLM\System\mounteddevices ^| findstr /c:"5C003F00" ^| findstr /v "{.*}"') DO ECHO %%#

FindMountedInstallMediaDriveLetterExample.cmd
Batch: 
@ECHO OFF
FOR /f "tokens=3 delims=\:" %%# IN ('REG query HKLM\System\mounteddevices ^| findstr /c:"5C003F00" ^| findstr /v "{.*}"') DO (
IF EXIST %%#:\Sources\install.wim SET DriveLetter=%%#
)
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
ECHO Install Media Location: !DriveLetter!:\
ENDLOCAL
PAUSE
