"Program Exception" using alternative dism.exe

[AnubyteCode]

What is the bug about? Pointing to dism.exe 26100.1 pulled from the ADK, running on Windows 11 22631.3447.

How does it happen? Clicking "View DISM component versions."

Expected behavior To see components. I have every file and then some listed for my OS dism in one folder, with relevent .mui files in their respective en and en-us folders therein.

Screenshots N/A

It's because the program has the DISM folder hardcoded. The workaround is to put all files, except DISM.exe and DismApi.dll, in a Dism folder. I'll add warnings related to that

[CodingWonders]

I've added a warning when that situation happens, which is available in the latest nightly installer
