Adds a new `Test-ExistingDriver` function to the common driver module to centralize the logic for checking if drivers have already been downloaded, either as a folder or a WIM file.
This change removes duplicated code from the Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft driver download tasks, simplifying maintenance and ensuring consistent behavior across all manufacturers.
Refactors the driver download logic for all manufacturers to first check for the existence of a final `.wim` archive. If a WIM file is found, the download and processing for that model is skipped, significantly improving performance on subsequent runs.
This change also resolves a potential type conversion error when processing driver mapping JSON files and corrects a minor typo in a log message.
Adds a `DriverMapping.json` file to automate driver injection during image deployment.
Driver download tasks now generate or update this mapping file with the relative path for each successfully downloaded driver package.
The deployment script now uses this file to automatically detect and select the correct drivers for the target hardware, removing the need for manual selection. The manual driver selection prompt is retained as a fallback.
Refactors the Dell driver catalog parsing to use a streaming `System.Xml.XmlReader` instead of loading the entire XML file into memory.
This change significantly reduces the memory footprint and improves performance, especially when processing large catalog files. The new approach reads the file node by node, processing each software component individually.
Moves the Dell catalog download and preparation logic from the individual driver download task to the parent function.
This prevents a race condition where multiple parallel tasks would attempt to download and extract the same catalog file simultaneously. The catalog is now prepared once before any driver downloads begin, improving efficiency and reliability.
Additionally, comments out manual garbage collection calls in the VM build UI.
Moves the logic for downloading and preparing the Dell driver catalog from the main build scripts directly into the specific Dell driver download task.
This change encapsulates all Dell-specific logic within the `Save-DellDriversTask` function, making it self-sufficient. Each parallel task now manages its own dependency on the catalog file, which simplifies the main script's responsibilities.
Also includes minor code style formatting.
Relocates driver-specific download, parsing, and management logic from the main UI script and the FFUUI.Core module into new, dedicated modules for each manufacturer (Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft). This improves modularity and code organization.
Additionally, centralizes common HTTP headers and user agent strings in the FFUUI.Core module, accessible via a new helper function.
