This is the second preview (Beta) release of DISMTools 0.5.1, with new features and enhancements:

This version was released because (1) it had to, and (2) it compensates for the [recent issues with the CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_CrowdStrike_incident) (**this *hobbyist* project** is more tested than an enterprise solution trusted by millions, go figure) ## File hashes | File | Name | Hash (SHA256) | |:--:|:--:|:--:| | Installer | dt_setup.exe | **C240AD165E0B179C53C2B3B42669D89244135E173F3DD5C3BF82CF2B7656AB8F** | | Portable | DISMTools.zip | **6271FB0C5DF568254BB8CC229229C4A1073A0F59489475C8EE40B6FCD0F0EA9C** | ## Bugfixes - The reliability of AppX background processes has been improved ## New features - Stub package options can now be set for AppX packages that are added

> [!NOTE] > Stub package preferences can only be set if the following criteria are met: > > - The target image contains Windows 10 or a newer operating system and is serviced by DISM from Windows 10 or newer, and > - The application that is added is a bundle package (`.appxbundle`, `.msixbundle`) and contains stub packages > > Otherwise, stub package preferences are unable to be set and the application will be added normally - You can now add packages by specifying Microsoft Update Manifest (MUM) files (thanks @AnubyteCode for suggesting this) - The PE Helper **Extensibility Suite** has had some improvements: - An application folder is now included to which you can copy your third-party apps - The ISO generation script now copies your apps to the ISO content root before creating the disc image - The Scintilla.NET component has been updated to [version 5.6.0](https://github.com/desjarlais/Scintilla.NET/releases/tag/v5.6.0) - You can now list the contents of any Windows image with the new **Windows Image Explorer**:

> [!NOTE] > The Windows Image Explorer is not tied to DISMTools and can be used separately. This means that the development processes of both tools are independent. Because of this, DISMTools does not include this tool by default and will download it > > You can check out the Windows Image Explorer [here](https://github.com/CodingWonders/WIM-Explorer) ## What's Changed * DISMTools 0.5.1 Preview 2 by @CodingWonders in https://github.com/CodingWonders/DISMTools/pull/143 **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/CodingWonders/DISMTools/compare/v0.5.1_pre_2471...v0.5.1_pre_2472
