* Since we have compression available through Bled we might as well use it
* Also validate that the download URL comes from https://github.com/pbatard/Fido
* Also prevent the check for update from running while we are downloading ISOs
* Also fix an issue where Rufus doesn't report an error if 'fmifs.dll' can't be found (#1284)
* Also improve GitHub issue template to mention that Ctrl-L can also be used to access the log
* This should help Windows users who create a GPT/UEFI drive and try to use it in BIOS/Legacy
* Also make sure that we take into account the split space for both "SELECT" and "DOWNLOAD"
* What would be nicer was if half these Coverity issues weren't false positives...
* Also update Readme and fix progress bar colour not being reset after error
* FS selection might default to NTFS instead of FAT32 after having selected a Linux ISO if
no drive was plugged in when the ISO was selected and then a drive was plugged using NTFS.
* Also display Fido's exist code
* Closes#1255
* Center dialog on open
* Close dialog on main application exit
* Display ISO short name & size on status bar during download
* Display ISO download progress on taskbar
* Also fix improper detection of EAGET Mass Storage USB Device as HDD
* 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
