-------------------------------
Summary: Modernize Windows pre_capture cleanup code
Key: VCL-1013
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-1013
Project: VCL
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: vcld (backend)
Reporter: Andy Kurth
Assignee: Andy Kurth
Fix For: 2.5
The Windows code does several cleanup actions during pre_capture. Some of them
are a bit crude and could cause problems with things such as Windows Update.
For example, the following are being deleted:
* C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\*
* C:\SoftwareDistribution\Download\*
It would be better to let dism.exe and cleanmgr.exe handle all of the cleanup
unless there are files known to be 100% safe to delete.
The cleanmgr.exe code has hard-coded registry entries for items to clean up.
These represent the checkboxes you see when you run _Disk Cleanup_. The
options vary based on version and which features are installed. There are
options for Windows 8 and later not being used. This should be updated.
