Chrome OS Flex does not use a standard ISO image, and the "installation USB image" is a complete installation, as it would be on a hard drive, I'm not sure ventoy is compatible with an image of this type

Yes I was hoping that this format would be something that ventoy could one day be compatible with

Just download Chrome OS Flex bin file and change the suffix from .bin to .img and put it to Ventoy to boot.

i'm trying same thing too but instead of booting an image i'm trying to boot it as a vtoy disk (i have a VHD made out of a bootable usb)
unfortunately i can't run the script in the chrome OS Flex to load it up and i tried running the script on the VHD in fedora but it runned in the fedora itself
how can i run the script inside the VHD when i can't boot it?
note:sorry for any typing/grammer mistake if i have
