QuickInstall v1.0.0 is here!

Yes, I know it took over a year, but I hope it was worth the wait!

Here's the changes:

Bootloader:

• Floppy/CD Bootloader now reads 18/36 sectors at once, massively speeding up boot on buggy BIOSes
• You can now select DMA to be disabled during boot to work around buggy IDE/SCSI/SATA controllers or drives (Note: this also applies to SYSLINUX and DOS boot, but NOT UEFI boot)
• There is now a progress bar when starting QuickInstall via the Floppy/CD Bootloader

Reference images:

• Added Q381307 (VMOUSE.VXD) update to 98SE and ME reference image
• Added Q311561 (IO.SYS) update to 98SE and ME reference image

• Added IO.SYS patch to fix janky DOS disk detection order (PCHIO98)
• Updated SweetLow ATAPCIBM INF patch
• Updated SweetLow ESDI_506 patches
• 7-Zip is now installed by default (yeah, that took a while)
• 98SE/ME Lite images can now install DirectX 9.0c properly
• There is a NUKE.BAT script now that allows you to reset the system registry (i.e. redetect hardware) without re-installation (experimental)
• Extras folder massively debloated by removing tools and patches that are already integrated in the reference images
• Existing extras folder content repackaged with 7zip SFXs for more efficient space usage
• K6INIT updated to 1.4b
• HWiNFO32 updated to 8.40
• Total Commander updated to 11.56
• HDAT2 updated to 2.76
• SuperPI updated to 1.1e mod (modified to show milliseconds)

• Added Video Memory Stress Test (VMT) 1.7.116

• Individual OS images now fit inside one 700MB CD-R again! :)

General Changes:

• Eliminated missing ".CAT" file popups during installation (hopefully)
• Fixed USB audio drivers not installing
• Deduplicated the registry in the OS data files, meaning the installer now has to copy ~1MB less data :P
• Rewrote driver library parsing code from scratch. It's now open source, faster and more reliable and doesn't need WINE!
• Fixed Font and Recycled folders not working properly (bugs with the file/directory attributes)
• Image creation rewritten to use disk images instead of directories
• New System Info dialog OEM logo (by Tapachki)
• USB Mass Storage devices no longer prompt for a driver when being plugged in (if bundled USB drivers are used)
• Added EFI kernel allowing USB images to be booted on UEFIs directly
• Added Witchery Voodoo 2 diagnostic tool
• Added CREGFIX patch integration
• Added GPT Disk / LBA64 helper Driver integration, meaning on "good" controller/drive combo, GPT disks > 2TB and with 4k native sectors can be read and written (very experimental)
• Massively extended documentation

Installer:

• Installer mostly rewritten
• NVME Disks are now correctly recognized and no longer trip up the hard disk selector
• NVME Disks are now valid installation targets
• Made File Line reading a bit more robust, hopefully fixing memory corruption when fetching OS List
• Fixed a memory leak when cycling in and out of hard-disk related menus with existing mountpoints
• Replaced individual "ask user" dialogs with a single menu to configure the installation
• Added read error handling for prebuffering (should fix a lot of the ReadAhead1Block assertion errors)
• Added better UI feedback on errors
• Improved installer mounting/unmounting procedures
• Installer can now be run from any modern-ish Linux environment (not recommended but possible), provided lsblk and cfdisk are available
• Removed dependency on sfdisk for disk activation (fewer errors on partition activation, and it is much faster)
• The installation can now be configured in a single menu
• The installation progress is now displayed in a single multi-progress-line window
• Partitioning and Installation now handles non-MBR disks and rejects them
• Partitioning now offers to wipe the partition table on non-MBR (i.e. GPT) disks so that CFDISK can MBRify them
• The OS variant can now be changed after the main menu was entered
• The user can go back to the main menu after the installation
• The extra driver library and extra software directory can now be copied to the hard disk within the installer
