Turn .exe into a preboot disk

Hi! Not sure if this is possible...is there any way to convert an application into a preboot disk? Such as creating a .iso from it, which can be turned bootable.

I'd like to boot from a USB (or network) directly to the "image" of the application.

A more doable method might be if there's a simple WinPE or Linux preboot environment that I could edit so it runs a specific application, and only that application.

    Hi,
    I think it's possible. But it may need some third party software or development to do this. Finally whether can boot u disk install system. Always it depends on whether the PE can recognize the USB flash drive. So some third party software could create a custom boot usb flash drive install system.
    But for Microsoft if we want to create installation image with USB, we'd better to use the Microsoft Media Creation Tool directly.
    Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.
    Best Regards,
    Carl
