* 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 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 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.
* 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.
* Closes#1467
* Also ensure that previous element is set when repositioning a
control to preserve tabbing order
* Also fix x64 version being able to download x86 BETA
* This is mostly aimed at Debian 11 netinst on the Raspberry Pi 4
* Only available for regular UEFI ISOs if GPT and FAT are selected (no MBR ESPs).
* Also fix a MinGW warning in GetUnusedDriveLetter()
* Fix RTL location of "ISO" in the "Copying ISO files" translation for Arabic and Persian
* Fix whitespace/message ending issues for various translations
* Sync all .po's with .loc to avoid another German progress update is missing issue
* Commit [e522ef6c55] (PR #1426) regressed the '%s'
progress messages back to '%0.1f%%' which results in the percentage remaining at
zero when the UI is in German.
* You can use <Alt> to switch modes during an operation that supports it (e.g. Checksum
computation, DD image writing or zeroing, save to VHD, download, etc.
* IMPORTANT: This is *NOT* available for all operations. Especially, if you were hoping
to get transfer speed or ETA during ISO or WIM extraction, you *WILL* be disappointed.
* Also harmonize the code in checksum.c
* Sorry Azerbaijani speaking people, but this was only added out of
good will and, with no new translator volunteering, this out-of-date
translation was holding us back.
* Only enabled when Advanced format options are shown
* Also enable reading of extfs volume label
* Also improve GRUB lookup fallback
* Also fix possible truncation when sanitizing labels
* Also write a zeroed MBR when non-bootable is selected
* 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.
* 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.
* With no thanks whatsoever to Microsoft for *NOT* documenting that you need
to pass flag 0x2000000 to WIMCreateFile() if you want to avoid an open error.
One has to wonder if Microsoft isn't deliberately adding *BULLSHIT FLAGS*
that only they know of, to hinder competing third-party tools...
