Turn .vmwarevm into .iso

Question

I was wondering if anyone knows how to take the .vmwarevmand the files inside it and turn it into an .iso. I searched on Google but haven't found anything.

It would be amazing if the .iso can simulate a first boot whenever someone opens it as well.

I want to turn my customized Ubuntu Mini 15.04 64-bit into an .iso. Right now it is a VMware workstation (.vmwarevm).

I don't think you'll find such tool, eventhough you can convert the .vmwarevm to .iso this doesn't mean this iso will be used as live cd or installation cd. I really don't know why you want to do that?!

Instead you have the option to create a Live CD of your running system in Ubuntu, you have many number of tools that give you the ability to create live CD of your running machine. Please take a look on my answer: https://askubuntu.com/a/642979/150504

I don't have a GUI, just command line. Is it still possible? – c.C Jul 02 '15 at 05:53
use relinux from the answer linked, it's used in CLI mode – Maythux Jul 02 '15 at 05:55
