By exe you mean a self extracting exe-zip file?

Well, i dont think IZArc can handle ISO files. What you would have to use is some program to read the ISO file and be able to extract files out of it. As far as i know, IZArc cant read into ISO files, or extract files out of them. WinRAR may be able to do all of it, but thats not a free program, try a google search for "free ISO reader" or something like that.
Then once you extract files from the ISO, u could use IZArc to make a self extracting EXE file.

An iso image is usually an image of a CD or DVD. They often contain exe files, e.g. in the case of a software install CD. You can burn the image to CD (or DVD) and all the files will appear on the media in their original file format. You can also extract the files from the iso with programs like Isobuster. As for converting an iso to exe, I haven't a clue how this would be achieved. The only way I see it being possible would be if the exe file was just a self-executing compressed file (as produced by Winzip).

The above should have read "as can be produced by Winzip".

Use Nero to burn the iso image. In Nero go to Recorder / Burn Image / browse to where you have the iso image, then follow the prompts.

Yeah umm...I'll try taking everything out of an ISO, then putting all the files in IZarc or WinZip, make a self extractor, and then compress it with UPX...I think that;s what my friend meant...:P
Thanx guyz!! ;)
