* 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.
* While this is intended to solve the issue of saving GRUB/Syslinux files for the
App Store version, we apply this change globally, as it allows the user to move
the Rufus executable around while preserving access to existing downloads.
* Closes#1744
* Trying to mount accessible partitions after writing an image may lead to the
creation of the infamous 'System Volume Information' folder on ESPs, which in
turn leads to checksum errors for Ubuntu's boot/grub/efi.img (that maps to the
Ubuntu ESP). So comment out that code.
* Also fix a missing CRLFs in the log after displaying write progress.
* Combined with the increase in buffer size from previous commits, this
should help us get close to a device's maximum write speed.
* Also add async write support to winio.h
* Also increase the buffer size for bad blocks check operations
* This is in preparation for async reads
* Also move open/close image operations to WriteDrive()
* Also increase DD buffer size to 32 MB to improve performance
* InternetGetConnectedState() is next to useless and doesn't provide
coherent outcome on the ARM64 platform I'm testing with. This results
in Rufus declaring that Internet is unavailable on platforms that do
have actual Internet connectivity.
* Swicth to using INetworkListManager::GetConnectivity(), which actually
reports a dependable result.
* Closes#1691
* Also remove the mutex for uprintf(), which may produce thread lockout
and remove an unwanted double GetSignatureName() call on startup.
* Due to the partition gymnastic that is required by the hack that is ISOHybrid,
some ISOHybrid images that are written in DD mode, such as Ubuntu 20.10, may
result in Windows somehow "losing" the target disk from some of its listings.
* This "removal" can be seen for instance if you have diskpart already open and
issue 'list disk' after Rufus 3.13 completed its image writing.
* In the worst case scenario, Windows may flat out refuse to access the disk at
the sector level be it in diskpart or disk manager, which forces ones to clear
the partition tables on Linux or some other OS to be able to "recover" the disk.
* This appears to be mostly due to Windows VDS cache (which Microsoft assures
should be able to do a proper job of refreshing itself on its own, in the same
stride as they also feel the need to introduce IVdsService::Refresh whose sole
purpose appears to work around a limitation that Microsoft knows exists) not
being in sync with the actual disk layout.
* So we now add calls to VDS layout refresh where needed, to work around the issue.
* Also fix an ext2fs Coverity warning.
* When writing images such as tails, that contain a large ESP, Windows forcibly
removes the media while we are writing it, unless we lock the logical drive.
* Also fix a Bled Coverity warning.
* Remove early locking of logical volume (no longer necessary due to previous commits).
* Relax exclusive locking of physical drive when an ESP is created.
* This should help with #1637 and #1640
* Also add an extra check for sector size in WriteDrive()
* Factorize drive letter removal into a RemoveDriveLetters() call.
* Improve MountVolume() and RemountVolume() calls.
* Also bump Rufus version to 3.13
* Make sure that instantiated objects are released.
* Factorize the instantiating of disk interfaces.
* Allow the provision of an offset to delete a single partition.
* Add a ListVdsVolumes() call (which is pointless since Microsoft *CRIPPLED* its VDS implementation).
* SetAutoMount()/GetAutoMount() should check for INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE and not NULL.
Also we don't actually need to open MOUNTMGR_DOS_DEVICE_NAME rw to issue an IOCTL.
* ToggleEsp() failed to exit properly when an ESP offset was specified.
* Introduce PI_MAX to explicitly set the size of the partition_information table.
* write_sectors() has write retry, so there's no need to perform one on top of it.
* When we exit FormatThread(), GetLogicalName() should attempt to look for the the
main partition and be silent.
* A user is reporting that, on one of their platforms, Rufus is writing to the wrong target during the file-copy
phase and using their existing Y: local drive instead of the drive associated to the USB, despite the fact
that Rufus is passing the right volume name to GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeName().
* Here's the PowerShell wmic output, confirming that the volume GUID obtained by Rufus is the right one:
DriveLetter : Y:
DeviceId : \\?\Volume{000349b1-17d0-69f6-c13f-f31162930600}\
Capacity : 118540464128
FileSystem : NTFS
Label : Y-DISK
DriveLetter : H:
DeviceId : \\?\Volume{b150ff4a-d62b-11ea-86e3-f49634660e54}\
Capacity : 15791824896
FileSystem : FAT32
Label : ADATA16GB
* And here's the Rufus log demonstrating that GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeName() is returning the *WRONG* letter:
Found volume \\?\Volume{b150ff4a-d62b-11ea-86e3-f49634660e54}\
\\?\Volume{b150ff4a-d62b-11ea-86e3-f49634660e54}\ is already mounted as Y: instead of H: - Will now use this target instead...
* The last line shows, without the shadow of a doubt, that we did feed "\\?\Volume{b150ff4a-d62b-11ea-86e3-f49634660e54}\" to
GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeName() and that this API call was successful (returned a non zero size) but ultimately returned
the wrong letter (Y: instead of H:)...
* Therefore, Windows is BUGGY and the use of GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeName() must be avoided.
* 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()
