I use DISM quite often but can't always remember the syntax

Attached is the chat history from my script, I see they didn't include my entries, only the AI replies. Still, it gives you an idea of the interactions. Most of my replies after the first one was to post the errors I was getting from the intermediate tries at the script.

I can see the potential for AI code generation, but I think you have to take a much more structured approach at specifying the requirements if you were doing anything remotely complex. I'm tempted to feed it one of my software requirements documents from my avionics design days and see what it did with that. However, I'm sure I'd have to go for one of the higher tier paid AI systems to get any meaningful replies.

Thanks. I see the same process I went through with the AI continually posting bad code. Can you respond to post 67?

10 does not work on my laptop. Nor does 10. the IF ELSE does not seem to function, and it appears code is missing after the last line.

and the text file, which should show progress, does not update until completion so it's not very useful ;-)

I fixed the copy in post #63, I lost some lines at the end somehow. I did notice the log file didn't update as you ran, that would be something that should probably be added.

Just tried my Wintoys for kicks but of course DISM fails the same way which was no surprise.
