Ok just made another installation from windows by changing the .iso to .exe and running it.
It finished after 15mins with the confirmation message "(hd1)is up to date".
On rebooting to the "stick" ... I get the single error message "isolinux.bin is missing or corrupt".

Ok I have managed to install now by using Slitaz 4 "tazusb gen-iso2usb" ... then I fixed the c32box.c32 and vesamenu.c32 boot errors by using 7zip to extract c32box.c32 and vesamenu.c32 as advised by others on another thread.
I have read that this error was probably happening because I have used an older distro (Slitaz 4 stable from 2012) to make the USB install as it contains and obsolete version of extlinux.bin?
Still not sure why it wouldn't work from changing the .iso to .exe and installing from that in Windows though ???
Every time from Windows it would give me the same error as in the post above "isolinux.bin is missing or corrupt".

Back to this. Something totally weird :-(
Trying to understand what was going on for TraceE, I made a second usb using the Bellard's method, and guess what? => does not work anymore. I get the same error as TraceE: black screen with blinking cursor...
After hours of trying, I finally used this method which seems to work:
- From windows 7 and usb stick 8GB
- Download universal-usb-installer-1-9-6-6.exe and slitaz-rolling-core.iso
- run the universal-usb-installer and follow the steps
- then open the created directory on the usb stick (drive F in my case) F:\boot\isolinux
- extract the file c32box.c32 to the same place using 7zip and rename it using jack_london trick (as explained here: http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/cannot-boot-live-usb)
- then reboot and enjoy

Assuming that someone, from windows world, wanna start testing Sitaz, this topic idea was to answer the question: "how to make a fresh new USB stick with slitaz-rolling from windows?
And the only working way I found was the last one I described (using universal-usb-installer).
As far as I understood, this iso2exe has to be launched under linux to "prepare" the iso. So the user must have a working slitaz to do that...
The best and most coherent way, in my opinion, would be to debug the "tazusb.exe" windows utility provided by Slitaz (initially created by Cédric Tissière).

Oups iso2exe is a linux tool.
Use isohybrid.exe, the DOS/Windows tool:
C:> isohybrid your.iso
C:> ren your.iso your.exe

THIS IS A DRAG & DROP METHOD FOR WINDOWS!!
I once came across Xboot from pendrivelinux.com when I was trying to find something that would help me create multiboot USB or DVD easily
https://www.pendrivelinux.com/xboot-multiboot-iso-usb-creator/
One can create multiboot or a single OS, bootable USB flash drive with simple drag & drop
I have tested & found it working for Slitaz 5 rolling release.
Slitaz 4 didn't work for me but you might be luckier!!
Hope someone finds this helpful!
