* This enables the use of Ctrl-SELECT to also extract files from a .zip
when using non-bootable, DOS, UEFI-NTFS, etc.
* Also clean up some uprintf line terminations and some additional code.
* Also fix some Coverity and MinGW warnings.
* Closes#2164
* Also add breakdown of score computation when device enumeration debug is active
* Also fix a minor Code Analysis warning in msapi_utf8.h
* This is required because, even though it's easy to change a local account name
post install, doing so does not change the directory name in C:\Users\
* Local account is created with the same name as the current user along with an *empty* password
(which we force the user to change on next logon). This is done to assuage users who might be
weary of entering a password in a third party application, and has the benefit of enabling
autologon when the install is complete.
* Note that the creation of a local account through an answer file prevents Windows 11 22H2
from bugging users about MSA *even with an active network connection*.
* For convenience reasons, only duplication of the current username is enabled. We *may* add a
dialog to enter any random username in a future version, but for 3.20, this is all you get.
* Likewise, the locale duplication is only carried out during OOBE and *not* WinPE (which means
that you still get the initial "Windows setup language and user preferences" prompt). This is
intentional as otherwise the default screen and "Repair Windows" options are not presented.
* It's not my fault that the Windows password change screen is super ill conceived, whereas it
doesn't hide the current password field as it should when the current password is blank, and
one needs to click on a very small arrow to get the changes applied, instead of a PROMINENT
button that should intuitively have been positioned right next to "Cancel".
* If you want to complain that we should just "present the user with XYZ and be done with it",
please bear in mind that we can't add new dialogs to Rufus as willy-nilly as you believe we
can. *ANY* new UI interface requires major planning, which is the reason why, for the time
being, we are limited to reusing a simple dissociated list of checkboxes for all WUE options.
* Use sources/compatresources.dll, when available, to try to detect the Windows ISO version and build.
* Also report what facility we use for formatting.
* While this is intended to solve the issue of saving GRUB/Syslinux files for the
App Store version, we apply this change globally, as it allows the user to move
the Rufus executable around while preserving access to existing downloads.
* Closes#1744
* Also fix another round of Coverity trigger-happy warnings (Seriously, those FALSE
POSITIVES about fwprintf can £$%^&* off — fix your frigging detection, Synopsys!)
* Only happens on Win7 due to MinGW not automatically initializing variables to zero on that platform.
* Root of the problem was that GetWindowTextU() did not properly handle empty text controls, due to
GetWindowTextW() returning 0 on empty strings. As a result, the UTF-8 label was not properly set to
the empty string, but kept whatever data it contained, which is garbage on Windows 7 and resulted in
an invalid label (even after sanitizing, since we don't sanitize low-level ASCII characters).
* Closes#1352
* Add VDS formatting support (through an Alt-V cheat mode)
* Add partition index support
* Improve(?) Windows To Go support by following Microsoft recommended partition order
* Code refactoring & cleanup
* This is accomplished through Fido (https://github.com/pbatard/Fido), a *SIGNED*
PowerShell script, that is downloaded from GitHub and that resides in memory for
the duration of a session.
* The reason we use a downloaded PS script, rather than an embedded on, is because:
- Microsoft have regularly been changing the deal with regards to how retail ISOs
can be downloaded, and not for the better, so we can't simply embed a static
means of downloading ISOs and expect that to work forever.
- By using an external script, we can immediately respond to whatever new means of
*ANNOYING* their legitimate users Microsoft will come up with next, as well as
make sure that, the minute a new retail version of Windows becomes available, it
also becomes available for download in Rufus.
* Note that if you are concerned about downloading a remote PS script that is being
run at the same level as an elevated application, you should understand that:
- Only scripts downloaded from GitHub, from an account that is protected with 2FA,
are allowed to run (i.e. someone would first have to steal a *physical* 2FA key
to be in a position to upload a malicious script).
- On top of this, only scripts that are signed with a separate private key (RSA +
AES-256), that is itself also protected with a strong unique password which only
a single person knows (and must manually enter each time they want to make a new
version of the script available for download), are allowed to run.
The above means that there's about as much chance for someone to manage to upload
a malicious script on the GitHub servers, that Rufus would allow to run, as there
is for someone to upload a malicious version of Rufus itself.
Still, if you are paranoid and have concerns that, even as you can validate from
its source that Rufus does not attempt to execute any remote script unless a user
actively selected and clicked the DOWNLOAD button, you can also completely disable
the remote script download feature, if you just set the update check to disabled
(which, by the way, Rufus *EXPLICITLY* asks you to choose whether you want to
enable or not, the very first time you run the application).
* Also remove _unlinkU() which duplicates what DeleteFileU() already does.
* Required to support Debian Live 9.1 in ISO mode
* Note that this only works if the efi.img boot files do not require
additional content besides the one extracted from the ISO.
* Rufus now checks for processes with handles opened on the drives/volumes before
starting the format operation and asks the user if they want to continue.
* This mimics Windows' behaviour when formatting drives, and actually uses the
same message as the one from shell32.dll.mui.
* Closes#773
* The Windows APIs may further modify the label compared to our proposed
version (e.g. remove trailing spaces), and we need an exact label for
the Syslinux/GRUB config file update.
* This issue was reported against Springdale Linux, where the isolinux.cfg
label was patched using 'SPRINGDALE\x20' instead of 'SPRINGDALE'
* Closes#784
* Also ensure that we don't replace NULL buffers in msapi_utf8.h and add
GetVolumeInformationU()
* MSG_002 doesn't display in RTL
* Update Policy dialog loses RTL setting after the first paragraph
* Some text displayed in native Windows message boxes is not using RTL
(even as the Message Box itself will display the rest of the UI elements as RTL)
* Detect if the relevant language pack is installed and use MessageBoxEx to
display native message box buttons using the selected language.
* All theses issues are part of #621
* Also remove trailing whitespaces
