* sr-SR is not a country code that Microsoft accepts (and from what I can see
is not valid, because it should be sr-RS).
* This has the unfortunate effect of preventing the installation of Rufus from
the Windows Store, which fails with error 0x80070057 (Invalid parameter).
* Fix this by using a country code for Serbia that Microsoft does accept: sr-Latn-RS
* Closes#2015
* First thing I'm gonna say is that, if your app validation process is unable to catch universal
installation errors like the one above, then your app validation process *SUCKS*, Microsoft!
* Hopefully, this has to do with the additional languages not being passed to MakePri's /dq
option. And there I also have to say thanks to Microsoft for *NOT* documenting how the heck
one is supposed to pass multiple languages with /dq, so that you actually end up with
<qualifier name="Language" value="en-US;ar-SA;bg-BG;..."> in priconfig.xml.
* What's that quote again? "Show me an App Store than only triples my work, and I will happily
let it take a third of my revenue"...?
* 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 should produce the same output while improving compatibility with systems that have a broken VGA implementation.
* Also fix an LD error with newer gcc toolchains.
* 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*.
* Now uses read-only NTFS drivers v1.3 from https://github.com/pbatard/ntfs-3g.
* Like previous ones, aa64, ia32 and x64 versions are Secure Boot signed (but not arm).
* Fixes the recent potential vulnerabilities found in https://github.com/tuxera/ntfs-3g.
* Note that we have asked Microsoft to add the previous signed NTFS drivers to the UEFI
Revocation List, even as we believe that the ntfs-3g vulnerabilities are not exploitable
in the limited context of UEFI:NTFS.
* This enables the provision of Registry/Settings key IgnoreUsb01 to IgnoreUsb08 where
one can specify a USB device to ignore by providing its VID:PID as a 32-bit hex value.
* Closes#1879.
* Also update rufus.ini sample for current Rufus version.
* Also fix status display for Alt-Q.
* 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).
* Since CentOS Stream does not use the 'CentOS-8.*' labelling scheme.
* This is a follow up to #1777.
* Also fix Windows Kit location for signing scripts.
* Having two separate Visual Studio solution files, while more convenient, was a major
pain in the ass and it also required us to update versioning in the .appxmanifest for
each commit.
* Also, this new AppStore build process enables us to use the GitHub Actions executables
to further foster the complete transparency of our build process.
* This is a follow up to 1c2884ceba where the error code returned by Windows 7 platforms
that don't have KB2533623 is expected to be ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER rather than ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND.
* Also update the Windows 11 'Extended' installation mode translations.
* Per 2a3e82fa96, it looks like some Windows 7 system have trouble with
LoadLibraryEx() if they don't have KB2533623 installed (which fixes a MAJOR Windows
vulnerability. Some people sure want to leave their system open to hackers...).
* Work around this by adding a fallback to LoadLibrary() in GetLibraryHandle()
* Also switch to using GetLibraryHandle() in dos.c and using LoadLibrary() in sections
where we have the full path (since these calls are not vulnerable).
* 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.
