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 exception (#350, thanks @TackleBarry80)
- Registry hives that were unloaded externally no longer cause errors when unloading them from the image registry control panel
- Non-PowerShell-based endpoints no longer throw CORS issues when calling WDS Helper Server APIs
- Fixed an issue where App Installer download errors would not appear in the foreground
New features
Preinstallation Environment Helper
- When uploading a Windows image to a WDS server you can now create image groups:
- From the Autorun application you can now specify the WDS image group to upload the image to:
- The Autorun application and HotInstall have seen HiDPI improvements
- Partition table overrides can now be used when deploying images with the WDS Helper:
- PXE Helper Servers can now be started using a different port by holding down SHIFT and performing an action in the following places:
- From the Autorun application
- From the Tools > Start PXE Helper Server for... menu in the main program
- A new policy has been added to change the default port to use when connecting to a PXE Helper server
Unattended answer file features
- If a starter script offers customizable options you will now be notified
Note
Because of this change, the format for Starter Scripts has changed and scripts that you create for DISMTools 0.8 and later will not work correctly with 0.7.3. Fortunately you can use the Starter Script Editor to change the target version:
- The Starter Script Editor now detects read-only starter scripts and removes such attribute when saving them
- The following starter scripts are affected by this version:
| Starter Script | Stage | State |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh Windows Explorer | When the first user logs on1 | New |
| Configure Start Menu Appearance | When the first user logs on | New |
| Disable warnings for unsigned RDP files | During System Configuration | New |
1 Use this script as many times as you want in any stage to allow changes to be noticeable without having to restart Windows Explorer. This is not a substitute of the "Restart Windows Explorer" option, however, and you should continue using it if the script does not make your changes noticeable
Image Tasks
- When downloading packages from App Installer files you can now copy the URLs to the main application package
Miscellaneous
- The following libraries and components have been updated:
| Component | Version in latest preview | New version |
