ISO, including non-bootable can be put on the Ventoy partition, you can then use the USB as any other USB by plugging it in to a Windows machine, browsing the drive and running the EXE/MSI or ISO file as you would any other.<\/p>\n<p>You don’t necessarily need a menu for this, but you could write your own bat file, which asks 1, 2, 3, 4 etc, which then runs prog1, app2, exe3 or iso4.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I wouldn’t bother with the menu, just put the contents in a folder inside the Ventoy partition and use it like any other

</div> <div class='post' itemprop='text'> <p>Greetings Everyone,<br> A while back a member of this Community introduced me to Ventoy and I have found it to be a great addition to my toolbox for booting and installing/running software from ISO.</p> <p>Some might call me lazy or strange, however I am wondering if anyone has come across a similar tool for installing software from ISO in Windows? Basically, I am looking for a way to create a USB Flash drive that has the applications I install most frequently in a format that is not easy to tamper with or delete files from (hence the thinking ISO) each/any app can be selected and told to run/install.</p> </div> <div itemprop="interactionStatistic" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/InteractionCounter"> <meta itemprop="interactionType"

<div class='post' itemprop='text'> <p>Any ISO, including non-bootable can be put on the Ventoy partition, you can then use the USB as any other USB by plugging it in to a Windows machine, browsing the drive and running the EXE/MSI or ISO file as you would any other.</p> <p>You don’t necessarily need a menu for this, but you could write your own bat file, which asks 1, 2, 3, 4 etc, which then runs prog1, app2, exe3 or iso4.</p> <p>Personally, I wouldn’t bother with the menu, just put the contents in a folder inside the Ventoy partition and use it like any other USB.</p> </div> <div
