Also an important part
The crosec
driver being unsigned and the secure boot
having to be disabled, causes windows to ask for the bitlocker
key on boot if it is enabled.
(see https://github.com/DHowett/FrameworkWindowsUtils/releases for more details)
This can lock inexperienced users out of their computer if done incorrectly.
To mitigate this, I have added an acknowledgement part with a clear red warning.
I don't know if this is the right way to do things, so I would like to know your thoughts.
Ahem... LGTM ? You're kind of on your own for Windows related stuff... not only do I lack a Windows install, but I also lack knowledge about how things are supposed to be there :grimacing: I've been Linuxing ever since I got into software engineering, sorry :grin: I think you should go on with it. People will certainly come and open an issue if there's something to improve.

That's the way our beloved @DHowett does, and since the dude works at M$ I guess that's the way :sparkles:
Hi @TamtamHero,
I have found some time and motivation to continue this and hope to finish by the end of next week.
However, I have a question, should we:
/windows
, /packaging/windows
...) and get rid of linux stuffs in it?
This would make things much cleaner, but maintaining a new separate branch and keeping it up to date can be time consuming in the long run.What do you think? Which one do you think we should go for?
Have a nice day.
Hi @TamtamHero,
After much thought, I have come to the conclusion that we should go with a separate branch and exclude Unix specific scripts, services and Socket Controllers.
Do you share this point of view?
I am currently working on the documentation and it should be ready for merging this weekend.
Have a great day.
Up to date and (hopefully) ready to merge.
I will wait for a week and test it thoroughly, and if all is well and no one objects, I will push it to the packaging/windows
branch.
Have a nice day.
At this stage, we have a working installer/uninstaller and the service running as expected 🎉
The only blocking parts are the sockets, so we cannot interact with the script yet.
Also, I now understand why nobody wants to port anything to windows... every single one of their provided tools sucks...
The install script can certainly be improved in many ways, but I will stop here for now and focus on the socket part.
If you have any questions or comments, please let me know 👍
