    I mean like multi thread
    all at once

    when removing packages online its make pending.xml file to remove the packages after restart
    which doing it all at once from one dism process...

    from image its remove the packages one by one and create new dism process every time and losing time

    maybe with start /wait or using sleep and run all at once mb it will save more time

    Then it suggests Multi-Threads at a time?

    Unlike DISM, NTLite removes packages BEFORE a restart, I reckon. But it still takes long time...

    Multi-Process but its too demanding, i guess its will be ok for ramdisk


    even with SSD NTLite takes time ?

    Yes. I am a legal NTLite user.

    OK. Ramdisk. I have 24 GB Ram.

    But how to run in multi-threads? start /wait? I do not think so.

    Hey, it is impossible with DISM. Because it would not allow multi-threads. Am I wrong?

    That way will remove all sub-packages too, no?

    I am running MSMG Toolkit in Primo Ramdisk Server Edition with 18 GB. It is fast...

    I can realize why MSMG Toolkit takes long time in removing multiple packages.

    For each package, it

    1. mounts registry

    2. takes ownership

    3. sets values, and removes owners

    4. unmounts registry

    But I dare not feedback to him. I am afraid that it might be offensive.

    Yeah, Ramdisk is far quicker...

    Yes, he does.

    Code:
    set DismScratch=%~dp0Temp\DISM
    
    set "DismFormat=/English /ScratchDir:%DismScratch% /LogPath:%~dp0Logs\Dism.txt /LogLevel:3 /NoRestart"

    this should work
    Code:
    $s |  foreach {  "start dism /ScratchDir:. /image:temp /Remove-Package /PackageName:" + $PSItem | out-file -Append test2.bat } 
    

    nope not working :\ i guess the error while opening lots of dism at once saying it cant be serviced all at once

    lite8, how do you use dismhost? Does it decrypt an ESD?

    Oh, I will have a go of it.

    Sorry, I can not understand the usage.
