Downloaded FOD CABs file name can be malformed warning #375

Closed rileyz closed 1 year ago

rileyz commented 1 year ago

Brower: Edge 110

Issue Download the FOD .cab file for Windows 10, version 2004, x64, as stated in the text and link. The URL is below: https://download.microsoft.com/download/4/c/7/4c79bf31-946c-444a-bc5f-61398d3b0a76/Msix-PackagingTool-Driver-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~.cab

When downloading the cab from URL, Edge (maybe other browsers also) malforms the filename on save, the ~ symbol and converted to a _ symbol. This impacts the cab file and Dism is unable to work.

Solution Add warning on document to ensure file name is as expected. Check that file name is correct with ~ symbols. Msix-PackagingTool-Driver-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~.cab *not sure why the numbers have a strike through in the link, please ignore.

And not Msix-PackagingTool-Driver-Package_31bf3856ad364e35_amd64__.cab

Hi @rileyz,

While I agree that on Win 10 systems, the .cab file changes '~' to '_', we have found that Dism command works even with '' symbols, as long as the file path is specified correctly (with and '.cab' extension)
