File hashes
| File | Name | Hash (SHA256) |
|---|---|---|
| Installer | dt_setup.exe | 0FE919AF7F435D4102F1FE697DF97081F37DC5CC71450C9204C67FDA28F012DA |
| Portable | DISMTools.zip | 9244D17DFAFDDF69F6E3D6344BFE70E566C9D4E6B979B8DB40FC61CFB6B1AC82 |
Important
If you use Windows Defender, it may incorrectly flag this version as malware. SmartScreen may also do this. Don't worry; this is safe to download and use.
This AV solution flags this program because it lacks code-signing certificates, which are quite expensive (as of January 2025, 660 and 864 dollars for 3 years of SV and EV certificates, respectively, from Comodo).
If you use other antivirus solutions, you will not see this problem. Learn more here
Bugfixes

New features
Preinstallation Environment Helper
- The PE Helper will now call OSCDIMG more times if it fails to create the ISO file
- The Sysprep Preparation Tool has been updated with the inclusion of a new Auto mode, and preparation tasks now running asynchronously
Unattended answer file features
- Self-contained copies of UnattendGen that are older or newer than the expected version will now be removed automatically
- The following starter scripts are affected by this version:
| Starter Script | Stage | State | Changes (if modified) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Set Quick Machine Recovery Settings | During System Configuration | Modified | Value checking has been added1 |
| Enable Verbose Status Messages | During System Configuration | New | |
| Disable Windows Notification Sources | When users log on for the first time | Modified | Copilot (APPX package) has been added to the blocklist2 |
1 Boolean values under 0 are now 0 and ones over 1 are now 1. Negative integer values are now automatically converted to positive values.
2 Because Copilot is block-listed with its AppX package name, modifications to this starter script may be done in the future in case that package name changes. In the event of a package name change caused by a newer version of Copilot, any existing answer files with old versions of this script may no longer disable Copilot notifications.
