DISM GUI 3.5 Released
It’s been almost a year since the last release but I just uploaded DISM GUI 3.5 to the Codeplex site this morning. It contains a few background bug fixes and a few new features. For this version I have kept it compatible with the Windows 7 WAIK and DISM version.
- Added Edition Servicing tab
- Added the ability to apply and unattend file
- Added application servicing tab
It’s not a major release but adds most of the features available in the Windows 7 DISM program. You will notice that there is no “online” functionality to allow it to operate on the running OS. That is something I had planned to put in but was proving hard than I thought with the current version. I’m hoping to include that in version 4.0
Speaking of version 4.0. I don’t have a timeframe to release it yet but I do have some of the features planned.
- Online mode – Allow DISM to be used against the currently running OS.
- Windows ADK compatibility – The next version will rely on the Windows ADK and DISM version included in it.
- WinPE compatibility – I am planning on making the next version work inside WinPE.
- Powershell backend – This one is still up in the air but I may convert the backend to the new Powershell cmdlets instead of relying on DISM.exe.
- There might be more features added but this is what I am planning now. If you have a suggestion add it to the
- site.

Bravo Mike, excellent work! Looking forward to the next version too.
Well done! In the next version, instead of showing the ‘DISM is Running. Please wait….’ windows, would it be possible to show the output from the command line in real-time? It would be nice to watch the processes run so we can watch and see if everything is running smoothly and to get an idea of exactly where we are in the processes we are running. Or a progress bar would work just as well. Also, ‘Application’ is misspelled in the tabs – it’s spelled as ‘Appiclation’. Nowhere near a deal breaker, just an FYI. All in all, excellent application! Definitely makes working with DISM much easier, esp. when used with gimagex!
Hi Mike
I downloaded your GUI in the hope of cleaning out some of the winsxs folder but it’s asking for a .wim file. Where is this?
Hi Paul,
This version of the DISM GUI only works on WIM files. it will not work against an online OS.
Hallo,
tank you for this little Programm.
Question: Is there a helpfile anywhere?
I don’t manage to delete in my old wim-Image the old nvidia-drivers.
The name of the folder can’t be found. The path-input is refused (not allowed).
What must I write in the inputfield, that it finds the old drivers?
Thanks.
HELP!!!
I love this app as I am not good at the command line stuff. However I am unable to use it “Error: 1812 The specified image file did not contain a resource section.”
Even when I point to the directory and images with the resource (Res.RWM) right inside.
Here’s the log:

Hi Antonio,
This application is only a wrapper for the DISM utility. You either have an issue with DISM on your machine or more likely a problem with your WIM and resrouce files. I would suggest looking into the the resource files and making sure DISM can read them from the command line.
I can’t thank you enough for your work on this! I have a physical disability that makes me the worlds slowest typist, I can click reasonably fast. You have saved me HOURS, literally HOURS each month.

Will there be a x64 version?
A suggestion for the next version: automatically create and use a random mount folder name (%TEMP%\%RndName%) by default. That way we don’t necessarily have to manually create and select a Mount folder first just to quickly update a WIM.
great job. I was wondering if you want to install a driver, is it enough to have the .sys file? Thanks
Thanks. You will need the INF files in addition to the .sys file for load a driver. Without the inf file Windows won’t know what to do with it.
Thanks Mike! You really made my life easier.
Thank you seems so inadequate to thank you for this wonderful app but THANK YOU anyway. 🙂
Excellent, I am a beginner and I am stuck at one point and hope you can guide me out of it. My company deals with branch office which doesn’t have any connectivity, hence we need to have an offline wim file on a usb drive with winPE. I have two challenges to deal with, which I do manually, hence your help is anticipated 🙂
1. I need to automate injecting Customized Answerfile in C:\windows\Panther of WIM after capture Task sequence
2. While applying the captured wim (offline) from a usb I want to query the model type and only apply those drivers while applying OS.
thanks in advance

Error: 0xc1420113
The user attempted to mount to a directory that already contained a mounted image. This is not supported.
Deleted the wim manually how to reset?
LET ME TRY,,,HOW IT WORKS
