Strictly speaking, an ISO image is a collection of differing files ~files that would normally be housed on an optical disc, either CD or DVD~ and the ISO is a single file that 'contains' all of the aforementioned data.

As to a single .EXE file becoming an ISO, it would really have to be a helluva size to warrant the transformation.

However, if you wanted to do so, you could do worse than running it through Nero7 Ultimate. Nero will make an ISO out of just about anything, that could then be mounted in a virtual drive, rather than burned to an actual optical disc.

But, since you already have an .EXE file, why not just either copy the file AS IS to an optical disc, or transfer it, or run it, from a thumb drive?

Most of those above should do exactly what you asked for and they are free. ;)

Depending on the CD/DVD Burning Software you already have installed this may even do this for you. Nero certainly can.
