DISMTools

Now, you will be able to get a bit more information about the Windows image when you apply it with the PE Helper:

​

During testing, I was able to get meaningful information about those 4 properties with PowerShell, and in a way that would not take a long time. This will come soon with the latest nightly installers. More testing will be done and, if it works correctly, it can also be backported to 0.6 as part of Update 1.

Now, Disk Space Checker reports will feature proper terminology for disks and partitions and not the mount point letters assigned by the system that started installation. This is possible thanks to an extensive use of WMI queries:

​

Feel free to try this out with the latest nightly installers. Also, additional improvements for the PE Helper will arrive in future 0.6.1 previews, mainly a more visual representation of the installation progress of drivers installed with the DIM, and the ability to automatically copy ISO files to Ventoy drives

 

I finally had the opportunity, this weekend, to test out the latest nightly and the latest Windows insider build. Very pleased with your work to eliminate PS boxes stealing focus. In addition everything just feels a lot smoother. I'll hopefully get to testing the WinPE functions shortly. Thank you for all your hard work. This is a very useful tool and much appreciated.

 

Experimenting with Ventoy drive support for the PE Helper:

​

Currently, this is only available as a flag in the script itself, and no UI option has been added to the ISO creator. Expect a nightly installer with this feature fully implemented soon, though.

 

Experimenting with internationalization for HotInstall:

​

This is being done with a simple, yet effective, INI parser library. Here are the (notoriously) incomplete results so far:

​

This library will also be used for something else in the future. Guess what it will be.

 

Now, the PE Helper will show a more visual progress of driver addition:

​

Experience this, and more changes, with the latest nightly installers

 

The ISO creator will now detect the architectures that are compatible with the Windows ADK that is installed in a system:

​

This is in the latest nightly installer, alongside some internal changes to DynaLog and HotInstall

You are now able to configure multiple architectures for your answer file:

​

For now, this will only work with the built-in version of UnattendGen (which has received this support) and not the self-contained version, which points to an older release.

There are other improvements in other areas, such as the ability to export the drivers to a folder from within HotInstall automatically, and a translated Disk Space Checker:

​

Experience all of this with the latest nightly installer, which will come out soon.

The final preview release of DISMTools 0.6.1 is now available. The stable version of 0.6.1 will come out on February 28 (on a Friday, let's hope nothing goes wrong), please report feedback to make it a smooth experience.

 

Hello, I have used other software for my iso creations, but it is paid, so I am looking at your project, which is open source, I would like to know if the xml files can be used in This software I mean, I don't know if I can mention the name of that software. It creates xml files with the settings made in each session, these xml help me do everything faster, since I only apply them by section and the program will apply them. All the content of those files, Does this tool do something similar? They are like presets that I created myself, and that I apply to every image I make

 

If you're referring to unattended answer files (in XML), you can create and apply them

 

I mean files like this

In this case this disables services, but I have a file that does everything directly, it deletes more than 100,000 files in the iso (which I don't want) Remove components, disable functions, etc. I mean, perfecting this took me a long time so as not to break something,And if in your tool, this is different, it will take me a long time to adapt all this.

 

Those are not supported

 

Ok, I'll wait until the preview version is released to see how it works, maybe there is a demo video or something similar? To know what the tool is capable of? Thanks!!
