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
- Fixed an issue where hovering over the original file name of a driver would return an incorrect result if a search query had been typed
- Scaling issues have been fixed. The program should look nicer at 125% scaling
Note
The display scaling notice will now show at 150% or higher display scaling
New features
Preinstallation Environment Helper
- The PE Helper now supports partition table overrides:
Note
Partition table overrides are advanced settings that you should use if you're installing an OS from a computer to another computer, and both computers use different firmware types. Do not use these if you only install an OS to the first computer.
- The Sysprep Preparation Tool has been updated to the latest release, with support for exporting and adding SCSI adapters and other storage controllers to the DT PE image, improved DPI handling, and more
- The DISMTools Preinstallation Environment now contains a script to create boot entries depending on the system's firmware type
- You can now access the DiskPart command line from the image capture script. You can also change the keyboard layout from that script. The image capture script will also append
.wimto the destination file name if you hadn't given it a (valid) file extension
Unattended answer file features
- The Starter Script editor now supports saving to user data folders by default
Image tasks
- You can now search AppX package information when the extended AppX package getter is run
Note
The extended AppX package getter is a script that detects additional AppX packages in an active installation that are registered to all users
- DISMTools now detects Windows PE images in disguise, such as Sergei Strelec's WinPE. These images spoof the edition IDs to resemble something else, such as "Professional". This makes DISM and any program that queries the edition ID think it's not a Windows PE image
- When a background process fails, DISMTools will now continue running the remaining processes, as opposed to abruptly stopping them. After finishing, you can now see which failed and why:
- When mounting an image, you can now specify an ISO file. DISMTools will mount the ISO file and grab the installation images that you can use from it:
- DISMTools can now show you the names of the AppX packages that you see from your Start menu (friendly display names) when removing them:
Note
This option can be configured in the settings. If DISMTools can't grab the friendly display name of an application, it will fall back to showing the application's display name
- New search engines and engine modes are available, and you can now filter them based on how much you tolerate AI features in them
Note
If you select a search engine that exceeds an AI tolerance setting, the program will warn you:
You can increase and decrease the tolerance settings to your liking. However, when you decrease the tolerance setting, you will be able to pick from less search engines and engine modes. Quality of search results may also decrease, but it's not to say that AI results have quality. They are... "Microsloppy" (see what I did there?)
Help documentation
- DISMTools now contains Help documentation files in Spanish
Note
Multilingual help documentation is still in experimental stages and DISMTools will still show help documentation in English. Multilingual documentation may not fully arrive in the stable release of 0.7.3 due to how big it is, and due to the changes that are made to conform to this version. I recommend that you chip in and help with the multilingual documentation. Your contributions will be greatly appreciated.
