* 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'Microsoft Windows Production PCA 2011' has been revoked.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.
* Per https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/win-11-boot-and-upgrade-fix-kit-v5-0-released.83724/
Windows 11 24H2 requires new registry bypasses to be applied to perform in-place upgrade on
non officially supported platforms, and those need to be enacted before running setup.exe.
* In order to streamline this, and because those registry bypasses require elevation, we rename
setup.exe to setup.dll and add our own setup.exe wrapper to set the registry and then call the
original setup.exe (through setup.dll).
* See https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/issues/2568
* Also fix some MinGW build warnings.
* Also fix the annoyance of TortoiseGit/Notepad++ altering the copyright symbol of rufus.rc.
* Looks like using the 'net user USERNAME /logonpasswordchg:yes" might have the side effect
of setting the main user account to expire after a few months. So to alleviate that, we'll
just set the system policy to use passwords that never expire.
* Also clean up the PE parsing code and fix 2 Coverity warnings.
* Also fix typos, misprints and ditch the UNRELIABLE timestamp.acs.microsoft.com server.
* The static_/safe_ string macros were not properly designed to handle the case where
an expression such as strlen() rather than a static value was passed for the count,
leading to unexpected results, such as excessive truncation of strings. Fix that.
* Also fix a buffer overflow in GetDevices() due to using a wrong string length.
* Also add Ctrl-A as a new cheat-mode to toggle the use of Rufus MBR (which is enabled by default)
which replaces the previous UI checkbox. The Disk ID field is now completely removed as we now
use the default values for XP and non XP installs, and will expect people with multiple disks to
disconnect all except the one where they plan to install Windows.
