This is not a criticism of the VenToy software, which does appear to offer a very interesting option for directly/regularly testing new ISOs without any of the pre-processing other solutions need and it's something I might well use on a dedicated external USB SSD/Hard Drive, but probably not on a 'Thumb Drive'. once VenToy has been used to create the dedicated usb drive it's no longer needed which is totally different to Rufus and other similar apps, which do have to be regularly used to process any new iso images.
I didn't intend to imply it couldn't be used (with care) via the PortableApps Platform - That was poorly worded by me, but my personal view is that there is little purpose in devoting the scarce and valuable development time needed to creating and maintaining a PortableApps version of any app that is already natively portable and which is unlikely to be needed regularly, i.e. It can be used to make lots of changes, including bypassing Windows 11 system compatibility checks during installation, setting passwords, or managing persistence for some Linux distributions. Because, by the Developer's own description, the primary purpose of this app is solely to set up a dedicated USB Drive (which which includes complete erasure and repartitioning of that Drive), after which the software on that drive is self-updating and any ISOs are managed by the user manually copying to the appropriate partition. Ventoy's configuration options are explained on this page.
