  Hi,

  What do you want the ISO to do? It's a bit odd to want to convert an exe file into an ISO, because ISO files are...

  ... an archive file (also known as a disk image) of an optical disc, composed of the data contents of every written sector of an optical disc, including the optical disc file system.

  And also,

  images can be used to write optical discs

  So if someone selects your EXE-ISO, and writes it to a CD or DVD, what would you expect the result to be? If the result is your EXE file on the disc, simply create an ISO containing your EXE. If you expect something else, could you please explain what (and why)?

  Kind regards

  Hi,

  We are usually talking about some .NET graphic libraries in Windows Forms forum. I'm afraid your question is a bit out of scope here.

  I'll move your thread to Where is the forum for..  to see whether there are better forums for you.

  Thanks for your understanding and support.

  Best regards,

  Don't say: "but you cannot do that without making a real operating system." and don't say: "Use susestudio.com", because you cannot change the files you want to start with, you cannot change the file types, you cannot change anything, except softwares, logo and desktop.
  

  not trying to sound rude or something, but telling upfront what you don't want to hear will limit the answers you get. from your description in your post, what you want to do is not possible.

  There are a lot of how to pages online: http://www.bing.com/search?q=convert+a+.exe+file+to+.iso+file+&qs=n&form=QBRE&pq=convert+a+.exe+file+to+.iso+file+&sc=0-0&sp=-1&sk=

  Here's a Win7 example: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itproinstall/thread/47c2752c-8a03-4268-8186-b7c810e6fd22

  Thanks!
