I Think I Killed DISM…

So, possible issue that’s been causing me a few headaches.

I was working with DISM in Powershell to put some drivers into a boot image for our WDS Server. In the middle of mounting an image, Kaspersky thinks that Powershell is some sort of virus, and goes to block it…it pops up, but doesn’t give me an option to allow it, only to block it.

I kill Kaspersky, and my computer just was having none of it after that. I couldn’t run a program, open anything, or get the start menu to allow me to restart. So I had to go with a hard reset. Eventually the computer comes back up, and I pop back into Powershell to try and get the image re-mounted, since it was stuck at about 26% thanks to Kaspersky.

Any time I try to run a DISM command now, I get the following message:

dism: The term 'dism' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. 

Even just running something as simple as DISM /Get-MountedWimInfo I get the same message in response.

I’ve tried a few things that I can think of, from trying to re-import it, which I may have done wrong, and trying to find any other solutions that might be available before I just decide to blow away my computer and start from scratch.

Hopefully someone here has some ideas, and can help me out.

Thanks!
