using the openSUSE-Factory-KDE-Live-x86_64.iso file, I can create a bootable DVD which works fine.
When I attempt to create a bootable USB drive using Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.7.exe from pendrivelinux, it fails with an error. I tried with unetbootin-windows-608.exe as well and it also failed.
Anyone have any success creating a bootable USB drive in windows from this ISO file ?

Have you tried imagewriter or the other tool mentioned here and see how it
goes.

One thing, did you check the md5sum of the iso download?

Thanks for the reply Malcom,
I did check the md5 checksum and it was good. I also created a DVD from the ISO and I was able to run the live version of Opensuse Factory using the DVD. So I conclude that the ISO download was not the problem.
I will attempt to create the USB from windows using the method in your reply.
Thanks again

Just a followup, I created a bootable USB flash drive with IMAGEUSB and it works very well. As a bonus it created a persistent flash drive and I was able to apply maintenance and install a couple of extra packages.
Thanks Malcom
