* This enables the use of Ctrl-SELECT to also extract files from a .zip
when using non-bootable, DOS, UEFI-NTFS, etc.
* Also clean up some uprintf line terminations and some additional code.
* Also fix some Coverity and MinGW warnings.
* The BlackLotus malware shows that it is possible to download individual
executables and DLLs straight from Microsoft's symbol servers, so we use
that capability to download the missing Windows 8.1 'diskcopy.dll', that
contains the flat floppy disk image with MS-DOS files we need. See:
https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2013/03/09/symbols-the-microsoft-way/
* Also reorder entries in the "Boot selection" dropdown.
* Also use CreateFileWithTimeout() in GetLogicalName().
* MSG_900+ will be used for Windows Store translation, so add them
and makes sure these get filtered out from embedded.loc.
* Also make sure we don't get a "Translated by:" in the English version
when compiled with VS2022.
* Also add Store screenshots and update listing.csv so that we can
autogenerate and upload a complete translation update to the store.
* 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.
* Update the relevant loc messages.
* Also add a -z commandline option to force the Windows version (but without letting
this option work as an override, if running on an unsupported platform).
* Also fix typos and broken URLs.
* This is required because, even though it's easy to change a local account name
post install, doing so does not change the directory name in C:\Users\
* 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*.
* 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.
* 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()
* 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.
* Make sure translations that are the same as English are removed in the .po
* Automate digital signature
* Add a more distinguishable icon
* Also update French translation
