How to run iso windows on linux mint 19 via grud 2?

I ran into a problem
. I did everything as people wrote.
Loading windows from an iso image in Grub
If you need to boot windows from an iso image of grub, then this is also not very difficult, but a little differently. First you need to download syslinux and extract the memdisk from there to the /boot/ folder. This should be the folder where the Grub files are installed. Next, add the following lines to the 40-grub.conf configuration file:
menuentry "Boot Windows" {
search -f "--set-root /Windows.iso"
insmod memdisk
linux16 /boot/memdisk iso
initrd16 /Windows.iso
}
The Windows image must be at the root of one of the partitions and be called Windows.iso, then the search command will automatically find this partition and set it as the root. Then only loading windows from the grub iso image will remain.
I had the image in / directory and in /boot
The problem is that when I run the image from the grub menu, it says
Device not found root-/Windows.iso
