I recently used the Windows USB Tool from Codeplex and I noticed that there are some new ISOs in its folder. I didn't recall having the option to download ISOs, and nothing in the help page or the main page suggests that the tool downloads ISOs for you.
I didn't think Microsoft freely gave away it's ISOs, but I uncovered that fact while reseaching that. However, I could not uncover the ISOs nor their MD5 hashes. I found some SHA-1 hashes here though, but I don't know the veracity of this site/posting, since I can't determine it's officiality.
- Does this tool normally download ISOs?
- Is it a default installation option, or did I select it somewhere?
- How do I verify they are legitimate, untampered with ISOs?
- How do I know what flavor image they are (VL, retail, OEM)
- How do I know what key is needed for them?
- How do I know if these ISOs are used by the tool, or if it uses the one I select? (I think it used the one I selected during my last use, but I'd like to know)
- Is there some documentation or man page that I missed somewhere that explains all this already?
The tool appears to have created this folder/directory and these files:
