DISMTools is a front-end for DISM that lets you manage your Windows Imaging (WIM) files and a whole lot more.
DISMTools is the first project-based GUI. Projects store the mounted image and unattended answer files you want to apply (using the command line at this time), while also providing a scratch directory for temporary operations.
With the online and offline installation management modes, you can easily manage any installation of a modern Windows version.
DISMTools isn't just a front-end for DISM, but an advanced one. As you perform tasks with your images and installations, you're presented with rich information and functionality. Here are some examples:
The following actions are supported by DISMTools:
This program is in beta stages, so not every possible action is implemented. Check the "Unsupported actions" section for more details
These actions will be supported in future releases. They aren't implemented yet because it takes time to create working implementations that don't conflict with the rest of the program
DISMTools is compatible with the following operating systems:
[!NOTE]
DISMTools is not compatible with Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 (versions 0.2.1 onwards), Wine, or ReactOS
You can download DISMTools from the Releases section (recommended), from Softpedia, or from WinGet (winget install CodingWondersSoftware.DISMTools.Stable
). This program is also 100% Free.

We continue the development of the next version in the Preview branch. To go to it, select "dt_preview" from the branch list. Commits are done every day, and new builds are released every 2 weeks.
However, if you want to download the latest release AS SOON AS the project is built with new changes, you can download the nightly installer.
