[QUOTE="jim lin, post: 329824, member: 2065"] Dism.exe and Dismhost.exe What Is Deployment Image Servicing and Management? <----- (Win 7) [url]http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744566%28v=ws.10%29.aspx[/url] Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM.exe) is a command-line tool that can be used to service a Windows® image or to prepare a Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) image. It replaces Package Manager (Pkgmgr.exe), PEimg, and Intlcfg that were included in Windows Vista®. The functionality that was included in these tools is now consolidated in one tool (DISM.exe), and new functionality has been added to improve the experience for offline servicing. Benefits DISM can be used to service Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 (SP2), Windows Vista with SP1 and Windows Server® 2008. It provides the same functionality that Package Manager provided. DISM provides additional functionality when used with Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2008 R2. You can use DISM to: Add, remove, and enumerate packages. Add, remove, and enumerate drivers. Enable or disable Windows features. Apply changes based on the offlineServicing section of an Unattend.xml answer file. Configure international settings. Upgrade a Windows image to a different edition. Prepare a Windows PE 3.0 image. Take advantage of better logging. Service earlier versions of Windows such as Windows Vista with SP2, Windows Vista with SP1 and Windows Server 2008. Service all platforms (32-bit, 64-bit, and Itanium). Service a 32-bit image from a 64-bit host, and service a 64-bit image from a 32-bit host. For more information, see the "Limitations" section later this topic. Make use of old Package Manager scripts. How Deployment Image Servicing and Management Works [url]http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799309%28v=ws.10%29.aspx[/url] i would not know why thay would be running on a Windows 7 pc but on Windows 8/8.1 DISM (Deployment Image Servicing) is used after running sfc /scannow and if sfc found something wrong you would run the DISM commands from a Admin. Command Prompt but i do not think that Deployment Image Servicing work's the same way on Win 7 and can not think of why it would be running DISM - Fixing Component Store Corruption in Windows 8 <-----(Win 8/8.1) [url]http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/26512-dism-fixing-component-store-corruption-windows-8-a.html[/url] :) James [/QUOTE]
