When creating bootable USB for vhd, vhdx or wim, it gives the option to create ISO for Nano Server but button for "Create" is greyed out and apparently no way to make the ISO. It's a problem when trying to boot from Wim, vhd or vhdx using the Nano Server Image Builder.

    Hi,

    If you want to create bootable USB media, we need to make sure have an available Nano Server image rather than create it in this Step. So first, we need to choose "create a new Nano Server image", and after image created, then reopen Nano Server Image Builder and choose "Create a bootable USB media"

    Here's the solution that I solved myself. I was supposed to type C:\ in the directory output follow by the folders such as Download in order to create the iso that's all it was needed.
