Updates the FFU UI and orchestration scripts to allow users to specify custom file paths for their Bring Your Own (BYO) app lists, rather than forcing the use of `UserAppList.json` in a specific directory.
Also modifies the orchestration to sync this custom path via `AppInstallConfig.json` so that the runtime orchestration phase resolves the correct file name and path during installation. Refreshes the Apps ISO if the custom BYO app list is updated.
Since Windows 10 is out of support and only allows ESU updates, LTSB/LTSC builds are impacted by this and are unable to be offline serviced.
This commit fixes that by installing the CU in the VM, staging the update in a LTSCUpdate folder in the Apps folder.
Enhances the orchestrator script to skip application installation steps if no corresponding app lists or files are present. This prevents unnecessary script executions and cleans up the output log.
Makes the 'Arguments' field optional when adding a 'Bring Your Own' application, simplifying the process for apps without arguments.
Ensures the 'Priority' field for applications is consistently saved as an integer to improve data integrity.
- Changed example variable checks in Invoke-AppsScript.ps1 to reflect accurate usage of the AppsScriptVariables hashtable.
- Removed Invoke-AppsScript.ps1 from the script list in Orchestrator.ps1 and added logic to invoke it conditionally based on the presence of AppsScriptVariables.json.
- Enhanced output messages for clarity during script execution.
- Updated AppsScriptVariables parameter description in BuildFFUVM.ps1 to clarify its purpose and usage.
- Updated BuildFFUUnattend files to point to the new Orchestrator.ps1 file.
- Added new common and FFUUI.Core directories that house common/shared files between the UI and PS1 script. This breaks up each of the PS1 scripts to keep things smaller and more organized. Still a lot of work to do here to pull some stuff out of the PS1 scripts.
- Modified the CaptureFFU.ps1 file to include more info during the capture process to help with troubleshooting
- Too many functional changes to list here.
