* The legacy code we used for writing disk images used the size of the source image as
the maximum number of bytes we should copy, which is fine for uncompressed DD or VHD
images, but not so much for compressed VHDX ones. So we now make sure to use the
actual size of the virtual disk, which we obtain when mounting the VHD/VHDX.
* Also fix log progress update as well as a MinGW warning.
* Now that we don't have to deal with Windows 7, we can use CreateVirtualDisk() to
automatically dump a physical disk to VHD/VHDX, so do just that
* Also move the relevant VHD/ISO imaging call to the appropriate source.
* Instead of embedding the content of the most recent revoked bootloader hashes in db.h
we now parse the system's SkuSiPolicy.p7b to do so. This has the drawback of not alerting
users running Rufus on systems where SkuSiPolicy.p7b is not up to date, but I believe the
trade-off is worth it.
* We now also copy the system's SkuSiPolicy.p7b to the created media when possible (for
Windows 10 or later), so that Microsoft's WDAC UEFI revocations can apply during boot.
* 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.
* Not using our own FAT32 formatting may result in access errors due to
Microsoft's hare-brain handling of ESP access.
* Also update upcoming translations and copyright year.
* GPT was fine but MBR led to the creation of EFI bootable images using NTFS as the file
system, but without the UEFI:NTFS partition (e.g. UwUntu-22.10-desktop-amd64.iso).
* This reverts most of 3528ca773d in order to download 'core.img' from our server instead of patching it.
* Also solve the issue of downloading a custom 'core.img' for Fedora 37, that introduced
a new 'grub_debug_is_enabled' symbol without altering their GRUB version string.
* This is accomplished by doing what the distro maintainers should have done on their
own, by appending a custom suffix to the GRUB version string.
* Some "unofficial" Windows ISOs use a custom boot.wim that only includes the Setup
image at index 1, rather than at index 2, after the PE image, for official ISOs.
* Also refactor to add a long needed vhd.h header.
* Also fix a MinGW warning.
* 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.
* In a manner that defies logic, Microsoft designed Windows setup to parse Autounattend.xml
for windowsPE tasks in the PE environment, but only carry out the copying of that file
to %WINDIR%\Panther for subsequent processing with the other passes *IF* there exist an
actual windowsPE section.
* In short, when using the Autounattend.xml method, Microsoft have made all passes there
dependent on the existence of a windowsPE pass, regardless of whether that pass has any
use or not.
* Working around this would be fine and all (just add an empty windowsPE pass so that the
later passes get executed) if the absence of a windowsPE pass didn't also determine
whether the user will be presented with the default Windows setup screens that include
the "Repair your computer" option or a completely different set of screens (c.f. #1971).
* This means that, to keep users happy, we need to add yet another method to carry out
tasks that should have remained the realm of boot.wim's Autounattend.xml, and instead
create a \sources\$OEM$\$$\Panther\unattend.xml when there are no windowsPE tasks (on
account that setup copies anything found under \sources\$OEM$\$$\ to %WINDIR%\).
Only through this can we have the specialize and oobeSystem tasks actually carried out
(for bypassing MSA requirements of skipping the data collection screens) while keeping
the original Windows Setup look and feel.
* Closes#1981
* The use of an unattend.xml to create the TPM/Secure Boot/Disk/RAM bypass keys was
prompted by Microsoft restricting the ability of Windows Store app from manipulating
offline registry hives.
* However, the use of a windowsPE phase in unattend.xml to insert the keys results in
a windows command prompt briefly appearing when setup launches, as well as slightly
different Windows setup screens from the default.
* So we are now reverting to trying to edit the boot.wim registry hive offline (which
should work for the non Store version of Rufus) while falling back to using a PE
unattend section if that doesn't work.
* Closes#1971
* This is enabled by default for Windows 11 images and is done to prevent the
annoying behaviour of Windows 11 *automatically* upgrading all ReFS drives
it sees to latest version, thereby instantly preventing you from accessing
these drives ever again with Windows 10.
* See: https://gist.github.com/0xbadfca11/da0598e47dd643d933dc#Mountability.
* I've never seen that watermark in the first place, therefore can't test if the option is
working, and, as opposed to the other options, users can deal with it post install anyway.
* Also ensure that we prompt for customization when selecting an install.wim.
* 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*.
* This reverts much of commits f6ac559f4d and 1947266837
so that we call the Windows APIs directly again, while ensuring that, by the time we load the DLLs,
sideloading mitigation has already been applied by the application.
* This is a continuation of #1877, and should help prevent re-introducing side-loading issues when we
link against new libraries, as well as allow us to drop some of the manual DLL hooking we've been
doing to prevent it, to clean up the code.
* Note that this is a bit more complex than what the stackoverflow post suggests, because we need to
create delayloaded libs for both 32-bit and 64-bit, which use a different calling convention and
therefore need to use different .def files. So there's a lot of gymkhana involved, with Makefiles
and whatnot, to get us there.
* Also simplify the use of CM_Get_DevNode_Registry_PropertyA() in dev.c since recent versions of
MinGW now have support for it.
* Also fix 2 small issues in net.c (potential overflow) and format.c (memory leak).
* This should help with the CoreELEC usage case described in #1842
* Also add MBR handling for ESP ↔ FAT cheat mode (Alt-P)
* Also set rufus-next to 3.19
* This fixes the regression introduced in c28f9bc491.
* 'if ((a && !b) || (!a && b))' can not always be simplified as 'if (a != b)' when the types for 'a' and 'b' are not straight booleans.
* Closes#1862
* Also drop the use of '%C' in printf() expression, as it is intended to print wide characters and not turn a char to uppercase.
* In their great "wisdom", Microsoft made it even harder to access ESPs on Windows 11,
meaning that we have to use even more convoluted ways of providing the ISO→ESP feature.
* Closes#1855
* 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.
* Use sources/compatresources.dll, when available, to try to detect the Windows ISO version and build.
* Also report what facility we use for formatting.
* Windows 11 appears to be a lot more proactive in locking system partitions (ESPs, MSRs)
than previous versions of Windows were, resulting in format or access errors.
* Try to work around these by disabling exclusive drive locking as needed.
* 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.
* write_sector() should really only be used when writing single sectors as it
is way to slow for anything else => Switch to using WriteFileWithRetry().
* Also revert an unwarranted change from f0047986e7.
