What happened?

I have placed the latest releases of ReactOS (Version: 0.4.14) in ISO format on the USB disk next to other ISO image files, where the latest version of Ventoy is installed.

The ReactOS ISO image file confirms that it contains the "freeldr.ini" file required to boot the OS (see screen capture):

I can select the ReactOS ISO image file from the Ventoy menu to launch the boot process (see photo taken):

reactos2

When booting the normal ReactOS ISO installation image file, the boot process fails with the depicted error message (see photo taken):

reactos3

When booting the ReactOS ISO Live image file, the boot process fails with the depicted error message (see photo taken):

reactos4

I have tested booting in BIOS mode using normal and grub2 mode booting. None of them work with any of the ISO image files.

I have tried both above described ISO files, the installation media and also the live distribution that you can download with the following direct links:

I'm pretty sure Ventoy has stated that they do not currently (and will not support "in the near future") React OS. Despite how many bug reports get filed for Ventoy not working, don't expect it to get fixed until ReactOS gets "stable." I wish Ventoy worked, as USB booting is still finicky on my hardware and my laptop lacks a CD drive.
