The restore actions use the recorded folder without checking that it still
exists, so an upgrade creates it again rather than using the default folder.
The policy check now reads the compiled AppSearch and RegLocator rows for the
remembered-folder properties (registry root, key, value name and type for both
scopes) and runs the DIR, FOLDER, PATH and legacy exe actions in sequence order
against seeded values, so their precedence and the preset-folder guard cannot
regress. It also replays the wizard folder actions in sequence order (a
remembered folder beats the new-install default, a typed folder beats both) and
requires the machine restore action between the scope page and costing.
The pre-signing check matched any folder named Program Files, so it rejected
a valid MSI when Windows resolves Program Files elsewhere, accepted the 64-bit
root for an x86 package and accepted a different app name. Build the expected
folder from the package architecture's resolved root and the policy name.
Real msiexec runs (per-user and all-users, silent and wizard) found two defects
that the metadata fixtures cannot see:
- "Only for me" published ALLUSERS=2, so FindRelatedProducts treated the run as
per-machine and skipped the existing per-user copy. An interactive upgrade
left two registered products and uninstall left files behind. The page now
leaves ALLUSERS unset for a per-user choice.
- Windows Installer resolves Program Files once, for the context it started in,
so choosing "Everyone" in the wizard installed into the user profile with a
machine-wide registration. The wizard now sets the new-install folder itself
after the choice (Program Files, Program Files (x86) for 32-bit, or the
per-user Programs folder). Silent installs are unchanged.
check-install-policy.ps1 now fails if either regresses.
- RawImage::develop demosaics only the default crop with AHD when there
is no OpcodeList3 (ahd_window), instead of demosaicing the margin too
and then copying the crop out of the full picture on one thread.
- Gpu::upload writes through queue.write_buffer_with and copies into
the staging buffer in parallel parts. create_buffer_init zeroed a
staging buffer and then copied over it, two single-threaded passes
over a full-size photo's ~290 MB.
- finish_and_read copies the mapped readback out in parallel parts (one
thread read the 91 MB of a 24 MP export at ~2 GB/s, ~45 ms).
Output is byte-identical (ahd_window_is_the_crop_of_the_whole,
uploads_read_back_exactly).
Export of a 24 MP ARW to full-size JPEG (examples/export_bench, 75
interleaved runs each on a shared 16-thread Ryzen):
main 802 ms median / 614 ms min -> this branch 647 / 525 (-19.3% / -14.5%).
