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 with the used volume letter checks in the PE Helper where they would not work correctly
New features
Preinstallation Environment Helper
- The startup screen in HotInstall is now localized
- The Driver Installation Module (DIM) has seen a minor design refresh to let you select items more easily, with grid lines
- PowerShell script execution policy settings have been off-loaded from the DT PE startup code and put into the ISO creation script. This can present startup time improvements
Note
I'm not a big believer in benchmarks, so you'll have to determine whether there's an actual improvement. Startup time improvements are definitely improved when launching the DT PE from HotInstall
Unattended answer files
- UnattendGen has been updated to the latest version, providing cross-platform builds for Linux and macOS:
Note
DISMTools still includes only the Windows versions of UnattendGen. For self-contained builds, it will still download only the Windows versions
