[USETUP] Improve usage of ERROR_TXTSETUP_SECTION and ERROR_CABINET_SECTION error codes, correctly display associated error message, and remove a deprecated string.
- Apart from allowing a UI cache variable that may be used when
displaying GENERIC_LIST_ENTRY-ies, do not store any display strings
associated to these list entries. They should be instead computed only
when initializing a list UI (or a combo-box or list control if the
code is used in Win32 environment).
For this matter a callback is provided to InitGenericListUi() that
does the job of computing the displayed string corresponding to a
given GENERIC_LIST_ENTRY.
- Simplify the calls to InitGenericListUi(), and refactor the
RestoreGenericListUiState() function.
- Use for-loops for iterating over GENERIC_LIST items.
- Adapt the storage data format for lists of settings items.
- The txtsetup.sif INF format specified in LoadSetupInf() should not be
INF_STYLE_WIN4 (to be investigated...).
- Use OBJ_CASE_INSENSITIVE when initializing object attributes
(no actual reason why to keep case sensitivity there).
- Check the success of a RtlStringCchPrintfW call in EnumerateReactOSEntries().
- Explicitly check for returned STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED from ChkdskPartition()
or FormatPartition(), and display an appropriate error message.
- Remove some left-over comments but also explain why I kept some
commented code (mainly for future reference).
Only convert to ANSI when needed (e.g. in the display code for usetup).
The 1st-stage GUI setup will however use the UNICODE strings directly.

- Remove useless code in setuplib's mui.c.
- Rename usetup's MUI "LanguageList" into "ResourceList" so as to
avoid colliding with the "LanguageList" of setuplib.
- Add the magic CMakeLists line "add_definitions(${I18N_DEFS})" that
I forgot previously, that caused the "LanguageList" of setuplib to be empty!
The code compiles and works during my tests.

This code is moved ther since it'll be needed for 1st-stage GUI

- Move several global setup variables into a structure "USETUP_DATA",
similar to the syssetup structure "SETUPDATA" (or the WIP 1st-stage
installer structure of the same name), so that these variables can be
set easily by different helper setup functions;
- Move CheckUnattendedSetup() and GetSourcePaths() to setuplib and make
CheckUnattendedSetup() use the USETUP_DATA structure;
- Add a LoadSetupInf() function that loads the txtsetup.sif file
(factoring out the corresponding code in USETUP);
- Add a InstallSetupInfFile() function (that I'll probably rename later on)
whose purpose is to create a valid "$winnt$.inf" setup installation file
in the ReactOS\system32 directory, which should help the 2nd-stage installer
to correctly retrieve the source installation media we used during 1st-stage,
and contain the unattended setup lines copied from unattend.inf. This is
done in a Windows-compatible way.

They currently do nothing, since the getter functions don't actually
capture (copy) the strings but merely return pointers to read-only strings.
But the calls are placed here for consistency, because if one day the

then be needed to free the allocated buffers.

INF_GetDataField() -- in AddSectionToCopyQueue().

- Rework the headers in accordance;
- Fix compilation in lib/registry.c .

- As GetSourcePaths() is used once in USETUP to initialize global
UNICODE_STRING path strings once, move it out of drivesup.c and
put it in usetup.c. Then remove drivesup.c : 1 file less!
- Move some INF file prototype declarations out of usetup.h and
inside inffile.h where they should better be, as inffile.h and .c
is the glue code for the INF library, defining similar functions
as the ones in setupapi.dll.
- I rename our local SetupOpenInfFileW() into SetupOpenInfFileExW()
because the latter one takes an extra user-provided LCID parameter,
and this is this one that we use in USETUP.
- Make 'UNICODE_STRING SourcePath;' visible only inside usetup.c
(not used elsewhere).
- Implement installation path validity check in case we are either
in repair/update, or unattended setup mode. If the path is detected
as invalid, then we fall back into manual path specification
(for now...; note that we could instead fail the installation too).

svn path=/branches/setup_improvements/; revision=75525
Implement work-in-progress code that, when upgrading an existing
ReactOS installation, verifies whether the (existing) system registry
hives are valid (by loading & unloading them, this allows using the
built-in repair functionality if needed), or not.
If a given hive cannot be repaired successfully, it is backed up
(with a '.brk' extension, "brk" as "broken"), then is marked up for
recreation.
When all hives have been checked, if there are any hive that needs
to be recreated, we recreate its hive file, mount it, but we do *NOT*
mount the other valid existing hives for update. We create instead
dummy registry hives so that we can actually use, as the update code,
the same one as the one used when fully creating the registry hives
for a clean installation (of course, this choice can be improved later on).
The update code (i.e. the same as the registry clean-install one) then
adds the registry keys & values, either putting them in the dummy
registry hives (the ones that we don't want to recreate) or in the
registry hive that is recreated.
At the end, the (re)created registry hives are flushed back to disk,
and a copy of them (under a '.sav' extension) are created, so that they
can be used for restoration purposes if 2nd-stage (and up) goes berserk.
Extra fixes:
- Use the correct structure member field when initializing the
'InstallDir' variable, when performing an upgrade.
- CreateNestedKey() should be better analysed to see whether it correctly
creates the full registry path compatible with volatile/non-volatile keys
(under inspection).

svn path=/branches/setup_improvements/; revision=75009
The rationale is as follows.
We now have the 1st-stage ReactOS setup running with its own registry SYSTEM hive,
similarly to regular ROS running instances (livecd, regular installation...).
The ReactOS-specific SetInstallPathValue() hack, introduced in a76689e9 (r3794)
and 5f973ce0 (r3795), is removed. This hack told the kernel that, during the setup,
it had to "switch" the used registry hives and instead use the ones of the ROS
installation being prepared.
This was really hackish because this means, mixing between registry settings used only
for the setup running instance, that could use different registry settings
than the ones that should be set for the ROS installation being actually performed.
Also, note that in the case of a 1st-stage GUI setup, consisting in running the
LiveCD + the GUI setup program, this situation would be untenable. Note also that
for people willing to use the Setup*** functions exported by setupapi.dll to parse
the registry INF files to initialize the registry of the ROS installation being
prepared, this would be impossible either.
Hence the need to have offline registry modification functionality.
svn path=/branches/setup_improvements/; revision=74766
- Also, reserve a new field to display whether the disk is MBR or GPT-initialized.
- Adjust the code that used the "STRING_HDDINFOUNKx" string labels.
The extra slot added to some of the strings is to indicate whether the disk is MBR or GPT.
As attentive readers will notice, the code that "determines" whether the disk is either MBR or GPT
is of course just temporary: it's just a placeholder code that should currently just show "MBR".
Having the NoMbr flag mostly signifies that the disk is uninitialized. A GPT disk also has a MBR
but it's for "backcompatibility" / "protective" reasons (so that MBR-only tools would see the disk
as just a big 1-partitioned only disk with which they could barely do anything). A real involved test
for the nature of the disk should involve calling the correct IOCTLs in the disk detection code in partlist.c .
This is for the future (and when ReactOS will better support GPT disks).

- The "intro" page is renamed into the "Welcome" page, because its corresponding resource indeed is the welcome screen;
- Because the "setup start" page can only be displayed once, move it out of the while-loop, and use its result as the initial value of the 'Page' variable.
- Remove unneeded _PAGE_NUMBER_DEFINED guards;
- Add a DPRINT in the RepairUpdateFlag case of RegistryPage() (because we don't implement yet a correct upgrading or repairing of the registry).
- In InstallIntroPage(), display the page itself only if needed (i.e. after all the validation checks & repair/update or unattended checks are done). Similar modifications are done also in DeviceSettingsPage(), SelectPartitionPage()
- Turn both CheckUnattendedSetup() and UpdateKBLayout() into static functions.

In particular the helper functions CreateCommonFreeLdrSections() and (Un)protectBootIni() are now removed from there (they are used in bldrsup.c only).

- Convert almost all swprintf() into StringCchPrintfW() and wcscpy() into StringCchCopyW();
- Explicitly add a trailing path separator to the "\Device\HarddiskX\PartitionY(\)" paths
when they refer to FS directories (and not to partition objects);
- Remove useless (and half-buggy) "Remove trailing backslash" code.
With that, it is possible to install ReactOS in e.g. C:\ReactOS (as usual), C:\ReactOS\dir1\dir2 (as many dirs as you wish), and also in C:\ (yes yes!).
But in that latter case, a strange bug related to the registry arises...
Additionally:

In all the disks/partitions available, it searches for the presence of freeldr.ini / boot.ini, open & parse them,
and enumerates the available boot entries (as candidates for installations). For each of them, it maps their ARC paths

the existence of NTOS installations.

The aim is to use this detector to be able to detect and select an existing installation of ReactOS for upgrading.
The user then could either select one, or skip this step and perform a regular ReactOS installation.
What remains to be done, is to parse the NTOS loader configuration files (freeldr.ini in ReactOS' case, or boot.ini in Win2k3's case, etc...)
to retrieve the actual installation paths. So far these are currently hardcoded for testing purposes only.
The detector attempts to distinguish between ReactOS and Windows installations by checking at the company name vendor of the ntoskrnl.exe & ntdll.dll files,
so that only ReactOS installations are allowed to be upgraded.

* The algo part is meant to be able to manage the filesystems available on the running system, similarly to what is mostly done (in scattered form) in fmifs, format, chkdsk / autochk codes...
It also manages the partition filesystem recognition, using OS routines.
