Can I create .exe file to automatically start the flow in command prompt and deploy node red?

If you use an 3rd party, Electron packaged version, then you can run an .exe that will then run the flows saved on startup

Note this NOT a supported version of Node-RED as isn't kept up-to-date with NR releases very much

But it works - I use it on Windows 🙂
