# Offline installation management mode

DISMTools 0.4 lets you manage installations in any partition (referred to as an "offline installation") using the same interface you are used to when managing standard projects and Windows images.

<p align="center">
<img src="../../res/img_tasks/offline_inst_mgmt/offline_inst_mgmt.png" />
</p>

## Accessing this mode

You can access this mode in 2 ways: by clicking "Manage offline installation" in the home screen or in the File menu.

<p align="center">
<td>
<tr>
<img src="../../res/img_tasks/offline_inst_mgmt/off_inst_mgmt_link.png" />
</tr>
<tr>
<img src="../../res/img_tasks/offline_inst_mgmt/off_inst_mgmt_menu_entry.png" />
</tr>
</td>
</p>

Then, you have to choose the disk containing the Windows installation you want to manage:

<p align="center">
<img src="../../res/img_tasks/offline_inst_mgmt/off_inst_mgmt_choose_disk.png" />
</p>

### Unsupported drives

You can't perform management of an installation on a drive if it meets at least one criterion out of the following:

- The drive contains an installation of Windows Vista or an earlier version of Windows
- The drive containing the installation is not formatted as NTFS
- The drive containing the installation is mounted as a removable medium
- The drive containing the installation is mounted with read-only privileges

## Differences with standard project management

There are some differences between managing an offline installation and a standard project, which will be mentioned below:

- You can't save in the offline installation management mode, because all commit operations are disabled

# Online installation management mode

DISMTools 0.3 and later let you manage your active installation (referred to as an "online installation") using the same interface you are used to when managing standard projects and Windows images.

<p align="center">
<img src="../../res/img_tasks/online_inst_mgmt/online_inst_mgmt.png" />
</p>

## Accessing this mode

You can access this mode in 2 ways: by clicking "Manage online installation" in the home screen or in the File menu.

<p align="center">
<td>
<tr>
<img src="../../res/img_tasks/online_inst_mgmt/on_inst_mgmt_link.png" />
</tr>
<tr>
<img src="../../res/img_tasks/online_inst_mgmt/on_inst_mgmt_menu_entry.png" />
</tr>
</td>
</p>

You'll then be presented by this warning explaining you the risks of managing an active installation:

<p align="center">
<img src="../../res/img_tasks/online_inst_mgmt/on_inst_mgmt_risk.png" />
</p>

## Differences with standard project management

There are some differences between managing an online installation and a standard project, which will be mentioned below:

- You can't save in the online installation management mode, because all commit operations are disabled
- You will only be able to perform the actions your OS supports

## Risks of online installation management

**NOTE:** read this section *only* if the aforementioned warning didn't make it clear.

Before managing your active installation, you **must** take some risks into account:

- We recommend **backing up your system** in case something goes wrong with the management process
- **Don't act carelessly**. This is *your* system, after all, with your files and settings; so performing a bad management action can break it, up to the point of making it unbootable

And, most importantly:
