[Invalid] Export VM/Appliance to ISO file

Post by renatospaka »

Hi all

I'm struggling to export my appliance to a ISO file. However there is no option to do that, only tar.gz or OVA formats.

My Virtualbox is installed on a Windows 10 Home edition

How should I proceed?

Regards,
Renato

You can't export a VM into an ISO. And I bet you're thinking a bootable ISO, like those LiveDVDs that you have in a Linux distribution, right? Well, you can't do that. Same as you can't export your physical computer into an "ISO"...

OK, I thought it was possible.

I'll mark the thread as [Invalid] because such a feature doesn't exist, not even for real, physical systems.
