Creating a windows installer from anything other than windows necessitates using a third-party USB tool that you download from somebody random, because of course it does I pulled relatively popular a git repo, and had an agent run an audit of the code before building. I want that power more.

Is there some reason you can’t dd the iso to your drive? If you can create a windows dvd you should be able to dd the iso to a USB…

I havent seen a disk drive in over 500 years

How is that relevant?

My bad, I misread your post. I dont know actually, that wasn't the guidance I found when googling. One dynamic that showed up with the installers is that they all wanted an FAT format and needed to split up one of the files in the iso to get under a size limit.

If you use DD to flash a disk image to usb, your computer shouldn’t be able to tell the difference between it and a dvd installer.

In my experience, not a single image writer tool has ever produced a working installer. Rufus, fedora image writer, Ubuntu’s, windows image writer, etc..
