Key features
Working with projects
Inspired by Visual Studio, 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.
DISMTools projects are also tiny when you create them, and contain a structure that is easy to navigate.
The program also supports setting and removing file associations for projects with the click of a button (only on portable installations), so you can load your projects instantly by double-clicking them. You can also copy your installed deployment tools to your projects, allowing you to use those anywhere you take them.
Manage your active installation, or installations on any drive
With the online and offline installation management modes, you can easily manage any installation of a modern Windows version.
Compatibility and performance go hand in hand
Unlike other user interfaces for DISM that use either the DISM API or the DISM executable, DISMTools uses both, providing great performance to get the information you want from your images and installations quickly, and compatibility, allowing you to use any version of the DISM program, ranging from the Windows 7 version all the way up to the latest versions in Windows 10 and 11, so that your existing command-line workflows are not affected when you move to the graphical interface.
