1. Extract the ZIP file to a folder on your administrative PC (e.g., C:\Dell-Wyse-Tools\).
2. Inside, you will find WyseUsbImagingTool.exe (and possibly WyseUsbImagingTool_x64.exe for 64-bit systems).

4. If Windows SmartScreen appears, click “More info” → “Run anyway.” This is a common false positive due to the tool’s direct hardware access.
