* This aims at reducing errors with Windows and other apps trying to keep a hook into
existing ESPs and other partitions, thereby causing access errors.
* This is expected to potentially help with #2776 and similar issues.
* Closes#2776.
* The Nutanix phoenix.x86_64-fnd_5.6.1_patch-aos_6.8.1_ga.iso contains a GRUB bootloader that somehow stripped
the 'fshelp' source string from the fat module, and therefore prevents Rufus from detecting that FAT32 support
is available.
* As a result, since NTFS is also not supported, no file system able to be selected by the user for ISO mode,
and the media creation process fails with "Could Not Partition Drive".
* Fix this by only disabling FAT32 in ISO mode if NTFS is available, and producing a warning in the log if we
have to forcefully enable FAT32 even if we didn't detect FAT32 compatibility.
* Closes#2769.
* Also add the setup wrapper binaries produced from previous commit and harmonise the casing of WARNING messages.
* Since we are now liking with ntdll directly, we can remove all the hooks we applied
and just use regular calls. We also rename process.h to ntdll.h as a result.
* Now that we have wimlib, we might as well add this has an option for people who really
don't want to use NTFS, even if it falls way short of the performance we get with NTFS.
* Also use wimlib to read the install.wim version.
* Also fix a couple Coverity warnings in stdfn.c/stdio.c.
* Factorize the log progress bar update into a new uprint_progress() call.
* Add a new FP_NO_PROGRESS flag to disable progress reporting when formatting.
* Alter the progress reporting frequency of wimlib.
* Also update some copyright dates we missed before.
* This includes all the changes applied to wimlib for MSVC compilation support.
* The vast majority of these changes were original, but a very small set came
was lifted from https://github.com/ebiggers/wimlib/pull/6 (which we discovered
after we went through this whole exercise on our own...)
* Commit f453dc272b improved on error message reporting, but went a bit
too far in trying to let Windows facilities sort their messages out.
* Add a retry that clears the facility, so that, for one thing, we get wininet
messages properly processed, regardless of the official facility assigned.
* This aims at creating installation media that is compatible with systems where
'Microsoft Windows Production PCA 2011' has been revoked.
* Doesn't work, since the bootloaders being applied by the first stage installer come
from \sources\install.wim[#]\windows\system32\Recovery\Winre.wim[#]\Windows\Boot\
(instead of \sources\boot.wim[#]\Windows\Boot\ as one would naturally expect) and
Microsoft botched the ones they included there by using completely vulnerable (and
therefore revoked) ones.
See https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/issues/2244#issuecomment-2400380839.
* Still, I sure haven't gone through this excruciating ACL bullshit for nothing, so
you get an experimental option, behind the expert mode curtain.
* buf could be freed twice in iso.c.
* Using HRESULT_CODE(error_code) in WindowsErrorString() could lead to "Error: SUCCESS" messages.
* Closes#2524.
* Also try to address potential issues that appear to have been seen in the wild.
* 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.
* Also update copyright year and improve uprintf error handling
* Also bump GitHub Actions dependencies. Note that we do NOT want to update to
upload-artifact v4 because it BREAKS the creation of artifacts from matrix.
See: https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact#v4---whats-new
* Closes#2382
* Closes#2383
* Removes the annoyance of having to wait for the process search to complete before media creation can start.
* Also update the "Process Hacker" references to its new "System Informer" name.
* SymLoadModuleEx() on the DLL fails (with ERROR_SUCCESS, sic) on ARM64, so we have to resort
to loading the DLL in memory and look for the "RSDS" section to access the GUID and Age.
* Except that, once you sort that, you end up with SymEnumSymbols() producing two separate
addresses for each symbol, on account that the Windows 11 ARM64 DLLs are actually an
unholy union of X64 and ARM64 *in the same binary*, under an abomination that Microsoft
calls ARM64X (See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/arm/arm64x-pe for details).
* And, of course, Microsoft did not provide any means during PDB enumeration to tell which
address is for which arch. Especially, the bloody pSymInfo->TypeIndex, that they could
easily have used for this, is utterly pointless as it remains set to 0...
* This means that, even after all this effort, we're still nowhere close to have a solution
that can make DLL address resolution work on Windows 11 ARM64.
* Some Windows Store reports suggest that the existing call might freeze
on CreateFile() leading some users to kill the app. So switch to using
a CreateFile() call that times out instead of waiting forever...
* 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.
* 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
* 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.
* The upcoming Ubuntu 20.04 comes with MD5 validation turned on by default.
* When creating persistent boot media, we may update some of the validated files
to add persistence, update the search labels, etc.
* Make sure that the files we modify get their MD5 updated where needed.
* Also add 'loopback.cfg' to the list of config files we can add persistence to.
* Part of #1499
* Commit 4c5adf092e moved us away from using CreateFile()
when extracting a file on the target media, and as such the error code returned when
failing to create an 'autorun.inf' due to a security solution has shifted.
* Make sure we handle the new error and don't bail out on 'autorun.inf' creation.
* Also update the actual name of the RtlDosPathNameToNtPathNameXXX function we use.
* Closes#1496
* Implement CreatePreallocatedFile() which uses NtCreateFile() to create files with preallocated sizes.
This is used during ISO extraction to improve performance.
* Remove now-unused preallocate_filesize which was called after CreateFileU().
* Closes#1445
* Remove unused iso_op_in_progress and use a single op_in_progress that gets
set when we disable the controls.
* Also fix an issue where Ctrl-L was being processed as Alt-L due yet another
completely backwards Windows behaviour where the message that is meant to
indicating whether Alt is pressed is also sometimes used to indicate that
another key is being pressed if the dialog doesn't have keyboard focus...
* 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
* Add VDS formatting support (through an Alt-V cheat mode)
* Add partition index support
* Improve(?) Windows To Go support by following Microsoft recommended partition order
* Code refactoring & cleanup
* Add display of persistence controls on relevant images
* Add progress on ext3 formatting and improve error reporting
* Also improve MountVolume() and fix some Coverity warnings
