Is there a simple way of installing the Windows 8 version of Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool on Windows 7?
Windows 7 does have a version of DISM installed, but with much less functionality, in particular it lacks the following commands
dism /Delete-Image
dism /Split-Image
dism /Export-Image
(failed) try:
I tried a naive way (below) of copy-paste. It doesn't work. When I call the windows 8 binary, it fails with a message box "missing api-ms-win-downlevel-kernel32-l1-1-0.dll" (is that a real DLL, by the way?
- Copy the binaries from windows 8
%SYSTEM%and%SYSTEM%Dism
- Paste them to win7
%SYSTEM%and%SYSTEM%Dism
- Register each dll with an elevated
regsvr32.exe. Some succeed, some fail

Per default a Windows 7 installation comes with DISM 6.1.7600.16385.
What you can do here is to upgrade it to DISM 6.3.9600.17029 which will support:
dism /Delete-Image
dism /Split-Image
dism /Export-Image
All you need to do is:
- Download and install the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) for Windows 8.1 Update from here or the direct download link.
- When asked what features to install, select only the Deployment Tools (54 MB).
However after that the DISM 6.1.7600.16385 is still presence on your Windows 7 OS.
To use DISM 6.3.9600.17029 you NEED to run that directly from:C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits8.1Assessment and Deployment KitDeployment Toolsx86DISM.
Otherwise you will still have the older DISM version as explained here.
