Hi everyone,

 

just wondering what is the difference between dism installed by Windows AIK and the one installed by default from Windows 7 Installation ? and is it really necessary to use dism from Windows AIK when performing an integration of updates,IE10 ... and so on or just the other one, and thank you so much.

If you have Windows 7 you don't have to install WAIK or OPK because dism is already a part of the OS (unless you need the WinPE stuff or WSIM for autounattend.xml and help files)

However I do recommend you install/use ADK if you are on Windows 7, it has a updated dism from Windows 8

Ok ricks thanks for the info ;).

 

BTW i heared somewhere that this new version is more optimized than the older one in terms of integration time ... is it true ? thanks.

There are a few new commands...like for instance you dont need to use imagex as much because dism can now do some things imagex did

Here are a list of some of the new improvements

Some only work with Windows 8, like adding /Remove to your /Disable-Package will delete the files from WinSXS and this command used on online images to automatically scan for and cleanup superseded hotfixes

dism /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
