* Use of '*.*' as pattern in file save dialog could lead to assert and crash, so
we now try to derive the type of image to be saved from the file extension. We
also did not properly handle user cancellation in the file save dialog.
* Also update iso9660/iso9660_fs.c to latest proposal of El Torito image handling.
* Also add a couple asserts in the hash table functions so that, if these ever get
triggered we will pick them from Windows Store reports, and clean up code.
* As opposed to what we originally asserted, Microsoft did enact a blanket revocation
in SkuSiPolicy.p7b for all post 1703 up to 2305 Windows UEFI bootloaders.
* As a result, unconditionally copying SkuSiPolicy.p7b will result in media as recent
as Windows 11 22H2 (v1) being flagged as revoked, which we don't want to enforce as
long as Microsoft themselves haven't entered the enforcing phase of their Black
Lotus mitigation (currently planned for early 2024).
* Because of this, while we add some revocation detection for post 1703 bootloaders,
we set it to only go as far as 20H1 for now, which means that all post 20H1 Windows
10 media and all Windows 11 media will not yet be flagged by Rufus as revoked and
will still boot in a Secure Boot environment due to lack of an SkuSiPolicy.p7b.
* Ultimately, per #2244 we may look for a BOOTMGRSECURITYVERSIONNUMBER resource to
blanket revoke all post 1703 - pre 2305 Windows UEFI bootloaders.
* Also remove the now unused comdlg32 library from the linker.
* Full Flash Update (FFU) image support was added to dism with Windows 10 1709
and is an alternate way to save a virtual hard disk for restoration.
* While more modern than VHD/VHDX, FFU creation only works for drives with file
systems that Windows natively recognizes (FAT, NTFS) and that look like Windows
installation media, so you can forget about FFU'ing a Linux disk.
* The other *intentional* drawback that Microsoft added is that they don't want
anybody but themselves being able to create and restore FFU images, so, even
as they have nice FfuApplyImage()/FfuCaptureImage() calls in FfuProvider.dll
they have decided not to make these public.
* This means that, since we don't have time to spend on figuring and direct
hooking internal DLL calls for x86_32, x86_64, ARM and ARM64 (and worrying
that Microsoft may ever so slightly change their DLL between revs to break
our hooks), we just call on dism.exe behind the scenes to create the FFU.
* This means that someone running Rufus x64 or ARM64 should be
proposed Rufus ARM64 rather than Rufus x64 as an upgrade.
* Also switch the BETA channel from x86 to x64.
* Also remove the _chdirU(app_dir) when using -i in commandline.
* Passing a non-formatting buffer as first parameter of uprintf() can lead
to an exception if this buffer happens to contain a '%' character, so
usage of uprintf() with string buffers that may contain '%' should be
sanitized.
* Also drop the _uprintf/_uprintfs aliases as they are no longer required.
* 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.
* This moves the extended Windows 11 options (bypass TPM & Secure Boot) away from
"Image options" into a new explicit dialog, along with supplementary customization
such as enabling offline account (for Windows 11 22H2) and skipping all data
collection questions.
* This customization is now enacted through an unattend.xml file rather than offline
registry manipulation, so that this *should* also work with the Windows Store version.
* Also update arch detection and rework/reorganize upcoming translation changes.
* Note: The 'Remove "unsupported hardware" desktop watermark' option is *UNTESTED*.
* Commit 9dc045a701 introduced a regression on account that we didn't set the
file pointer to 0 before clearing the disk.
* This leads to the MBR not being properly cleared, with the result that Windows may in turn
produce errors when trying to repartition the disk.
* Fix this by making sure we do invoke SetFilePointerEx() before calling WriteFileWithRetry().
* Also set rufus-next to 3.17
* Also fix a MinGW warning
* Remove BypassRAMCheck from Extended Windows 11 installation since the minimum
RAM requirements for Windows 11 are 4 GB and not 8 GB as pointed out in #1791.
* Display Windows edition code when we can't resolve it.
* VS2019 wants us to have PackageOptionalProjectsInIdeBuilds enabled? So be it.
* If 'Extended Windows 11 Installation' mode is selected, the system registry hive of
'sources\boot.wim' is patched to add the Setup\LabConfig registry keys that bypass
the TPM 2.0/Secure Boot/8GB+ RAM Windows 11 system requirements.
* Also use build number to detect Windows Server 2019 and Windows 11
since Microsoft are COMPLETE ASSES about their version reporting.
* Also fix a compilation warning.
* Don't use hDrive handle for longer than necessary
* Move all the popcount() function calls into missing.h
* Ensure that the thread_affinity[] array is properly sized
* Improve timeouts for conflicting process search
Yet another link in the long chain of Microsoft making it UNFATHOMABLY DIFFICULT
to figure out what version of Windows an application is actually running on...
* 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.
* Closes#1268
* Issue was introduced in 521034da99 and has
to do with VS2017's handling of static strings in RELEASE mode.
Fix is to use a static char array instead.
* Also fix MinGw build warnings and increase process search timeout
* Relying on system MUIs was too brittle and provides us with no guarantee
that the translated messages we need will actually be there.
* Also fix space before question mark in French translation.
* Some Thai UTF-8 notification messages went over the buffer size limit we used for vsnprintf()
* Also, revert part of 645184f11e and use LRE+PDF marks instead:
Don't handle in the code what is better handled in the loc file.
* 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
* Fix memory leaks due to not releasing the heap
* Also speed up lookups by not reopening the same process twice in a row
* Also make the usb_debug variable global so we can use uuprintf everywhere
