Does DISM have ability to integrate apps into Windows 7 image? In the most cases I have seen DISM used for integrating updates and drivers into os image but very rarely for integrating apps. Only allowed file extension is, if I am right, .msp so .exe and .msi are out of question. One more thing - do I have to care about switches for silent apps installation (in MDT 2012 if app has silent switches then the rest of the job is more or less easy)? If so how to pass these switches to non .exe or .msi app package.
After reading many books and forums it seems that the most efficient way of deploying images with integrated apps is by having a reference computer with all apps installed, syspreping that computer, capturing image of it with DISM and deploying captured image to target computers. If I understood well, every partition can be captured including a 100 MB System Reserved partition, not only partition with os which is very good.
