  • Ok, solved it.

    Actually DISM wasn't able to read the "imagefile:m:\dk2\install.swm"
    OR in other words, m:\dk2 should be the curent directory before you proceed.
    In my case it was x:\Windows\System32

  • Hi,

    Did you receive any error message?

    DISM should work for SWM file on Windows 8, you can check this article:

    Example: Dism /apply-image /imagefile:install.swm /swmfile:install*.swm /index

  • It must be like this:

    DISM /apply-image /imagefile:M:\dk2\install.swm /swmfile:M:\dk2\install*.swm /applydir:W:\ /index:1

    You must specify the dir where is the imagefile and swmfile located.
