New features
- The Preinstallation Environment (PE) Helper has had several improvements:
- A new tool has been added: the Driver Installation Module (DIM), which assists you in installing device drivers on active Windows PEs. These drivers are then added to the target image
- Now, you can create testing environments in which you can test your applications for Windows PE compatibility and with which you can make further customizations to the Preinstallation Environment if need be
- A new tool has been added: the Driver Installation Module (DIM), which assists you in installing device drivers on active Windows PEs. These drivers are then added to the target image

- CODE: MSU package addition has been simplified
- If an operation completes with errors, the program will now show a description of the error, in the system language, from the Windows APIs instead of a generic string
- Stub package options can now be set for AppX packages that are added
Note
Stub package preferences can only be set if the following criteria are met:
- The target image contains Windows 10 or a newer operating system and is serviced by DISM from Windows 10 or newer, and
- The application that is added is a bundle package (
.appxbundle,.msixbundle) and contains stub packages
Otherwise, stub package preferences are unable to be set and the application will be added normally
- You can now add packages by specifying Microsoft Update Manifest (MUM) files (thanks @AnubyteCode for suggesting this)
- The Scintilla.NET component has been updated to version 5.6.1
- You can now list the contents of any Windows image with the new Windows Image Explorer:
Note
The Windows Image Explorer is not tied to DISMTools and can be used separately. This means that the development processes of both tools are independent. Because of this, DISMTools does not include this tool by default and will download it
You can check out the Windows Image Explorer here
- You can now set keyboard layered drivers on your Windows image, which are useful for Japanese and Korean keyboards
Note
You can access this new task at "Commands -> Languages and regional settings -> Set layered driver..."
- The unattended answer file features have been revamped, using the Unattended Answer File Generator from Christoph Schneegans (@cschneegans) as their new base
- DockPanelSuite has been updated to version 3.1.1
