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 a minor issue where DynaLog timestamps would not use a common format for time
New features
Theme Engine
- The program now uses a theme engine that makes it easy for you to make your own themes
Note
No options have been added to the GUI to configure which theme to choose for dark and light modes, so you'll have to configure them from the INI or the Registry. The files are in an INI format, so they are easy to read and modify.
A theme designer is in the works to make it easier for you to make your themes.
DynaLog
- DISMTools now includes a log viewer (DynaViewer)
Tip
The program includes 2 versions of DynaViewer: a version that uses .NET 4.8, and another version that uses .NET 2.0. The latter one makes DynaViewer compatible with operating systems as old as Windows 98:
DynaViewer running on Windows Me
When running into an internal error, you have an option to open this viewer
Removed features
- The restart dialog in the DISMTools Preinstallation Environment has been removed due to alleged "malware infections" (#246, thanks @MTTGamer for informing me)
Important
My commitment to keeping your PCs secure is still my number 1 priority. It just so happened that 20 vendors were flagging a simple application that shows a message, a timeout, and that returns an exit code, as "malware". It's a false positive, but I didn't take any chances, so I yanked it out of the program.
This will restore the old behavior in the PE Helper present during the 0.5 Series. Further changes will be made to this method to make it look like this dialog.
This issue shows the attack on open-source software developers. Every program I make does not have any malicious intent.
This change will be backported to 0.6.2 as part of an update
