Getting oscdimg.exe

For the page Create ISO SmartPack needs the Microsoft file oscdimg.exe. It is part of the free “Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit” (Windows ADK) and is not supplied with SmartPack. Microsoft's licence terms apply to its use.

Is the file already there?

Some programs, for example for backups or system images, already bring oscdimg.exe with them. A search in Explorer for oscdimg.exe on drive C: shows whether it is on the PC. If it is there with Microsoft as the publisher (right-click › Properties › Details), a copy in the SmartPack program folder is enough – see step 4 below.

Official way: Windows ADK

  1. Open the Microsoft page Download and install the Windows ADK and download Windows ADK there. The Windows PE add-on is not needed.
  2. Run the setup. When selecting the features, tick only Deployment Tools; all other ticks can be removed.
  3. After installation the file is here:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\amd64\Oscdimg\oscdimg.exe
  4. Copy oscdimg.exe into the folder S-IT-SmartPack_Prog – where S-IT-SmartPack.exe and 7z.exe are.
  5. Restart SmartPack.

How you can tell it worked: At the bottom of the page Create ISO it says in green “oscdimg.exe is present in the program folder.” If the ISO function is switched off in the settings, tick Use ISO function there again.

The ADK can be uninstalled after copying; SmartPack only needs this one file.
