Re: Kernel Extended Attribute Support on NTFS

We're considering building a driver to work around this issue. We intend for the driver to be open sourced, although it will need to be signed with an EV certificate of course. Would you support this effort by talking to the driver implementor(s) so they can provide interfaces for wimlib in the easi...

Re: Kernel Extended Attribute Support on NTFS

I do wonder how their Xbox app then writes/reads these attributes. Are they using a driver on the system? These are "modern" apps too, so that they can go so low-level while we can't is nothing short of astounding. Would we basically need to write, and extended-verification code sign an in...

Re: Kernel Extended Attribute Support on NTFS

Here's a marginally related post: https://superuser.com/questions/396692/what-are-these-extended-attributes-eas-in-the-files-in-windows-8 I believe these kernel extended attributes are why we've seen lots of oddball issues with so-called modern Windows apps - they're all full of them. Even the lates...

Re: Kernel Extended Attribute Support on NTFS

The emphasis is on *kernel* extended attributes. wimlib does indeed handle non-kernel extended attributes properly since the version you mentioned. Apparently these are preceded with the string $Kernel in the attribute name: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/dism...

Kernel Extended Attribute Support on NTFS

You can check for existing kernel extended attributes on files using: fsutil file queryea <filename> Some issues earlier reported on this forum: https://wimlib.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=579 Might be due to these kernel extended attributes not being preserved by wimlib. Is it possible to add support...

Re: wimcapture + wimappy breaks office?

I second this. Have been seeing it for a while on one of my OS images. Another image is suspiciously immune to the issue, but they may have office installed and/or licensed in different modes. I'm pretty sure none are Office 365 but one was an and 2019 installation that upgraded itself to 2021 when ...

Re: Change the index boot

Is there a way to do this via API automatically at capture time?

Would the index of an image normally change for any reason when it is being unsafely compacted and updated?

Cannot build wimlib with Cygwin (on Windows)

I have been trying to follow the instructions here to build a custom version of wimlib: https://wimlib.net/git/?p=wimlib;a=blob;f=README.WINDOWS;h=cea312243ba3af33afc7ce236895336f2f0b179a;hb=HEAD#l106 But a bunch of compiler errors stall both x86 and x64 builds, regardless of whether I am using the ...

Re: ARM64 Support

I succeeded in building libwim-15.dll on MSYS2 with llvm-mingw toolchain. Even the latest MinGW-w64 toolchain available on MSYS2 does not support aarch64-w64-mingw32 target. However, LLVM/Clang does support ARM64 Windows target, and MSYS2 community was testing clang toolchain (ref) for it. Thus I t...

Re: Strange Start Menu / Microsoft Store app issue

My transparent disk compression software (which also doubles as my imaging and cloning solution) makes use of both wimlib and wimgapi (Microsoft). I always try to test as many PC images as I can find. I never run into any issues I can't fix. Except: I found one image where, after compression, modern...
