XP and Vista users: You will need to use the DISM Installer in order for W7T to work on your Operating System!

Windows 7 Toolkit is a program designed to help you integrate your Updates, Drivers, Theme Packs, Tweaks, Wallpapers, Addons, SFX Installers, Gadgets and remove the things you don't want from your Windows 7 Image.
