    The thing is that DISMTools is not meant to be a system optimizer. You'll have to do the registry changes manually, but I don't want to implement this. I'm sorry, @Acideb135

    Ok too bad, I'll have to fork but I'm starting with it depending on the language used

    Forking are creating new heads, it’s definitely not what users are expecting. Considering to put in place an extensible architecture would allow autonomous parties to develop specific aspects while maintaining a single software.

    I was talking about a fork for dism++ but without the complete source code, it will be difficult even when decompiling the file .exe
    How to do it ?

    And yes, why not create an extensible architecture for dismTool later

    More information on the experiment: it works on every supported OS platform. Screenshots:

    Work on a new and unified logging system (DynaLog) has started. DynaLog will combine logging via the Immediate Window of Visual Studio and logging to log files. This new infrastructure will be used across the main program.

    DynaLog's advantage over any other .NET logging library is that it is an in-house technology that works beautifully with the standard .NET libraries.

    DISMTools 0.6 will see the use of DynaLog. However, it will only be used to list the copyright of components and standard logging functions. This is to test the potential of this logging infrastructure. However, future versions will transition to DynaLog and will use that as the unified logging technology.

    DynaLog logs are currently stored in "<Program Directory>\logs\DT_DynaLog.log". Here's an example of the results of this infrastructure:

    This functionality is now available in the latest nightly installers.

    New nightly installers will see a revised PE Helper. It no longer throws a log path warning when performing serviceability tests for Selenium builds of Windows 11. This is because, now, a folder is created where this log file is stored:

    Expect them to arrive shortly, and for this change to come on both Preview 7 of DT 0.6 and Update 3 of version 0.5.1. Also, a new version of UnattendGen will be used on both releases

    Work on the videos for DT 0.6 has started. For this, I made a copy of the project I used for the videos of version 0.5, and I have started working on it today, so there's still footage from 0.5:

    For these videos, there will be new music (again, from Audio Library). Expect these videos to become available when version 0.6 becomes available as a full release

    When creating ISO files, you will now see image information in a better way:

    This functionality is available in the latest nightly installers. The program will also perform detection for the 2 verified AME Playbooks, AtlasOS and Revision, mainly to help isolate software issues on modified systems.

    If the program detects them, it will log information via DynaLog. I would like you to test the program on those modified systems and see if you can spot any issues since we're getting closer and closer to the release of version 0.6.

    Following the latest commits of Christoph Schneegans' unattended answer file generator library, the latest nightly installers will let you configure a Microsoft account interactively:

    Other improvements have been made to the unattended answer file creation wizard. Expect these changes in the latest nightly installers

    @gointern, this. If you run into that issue, reloading the project will fix it
