[Feature]: Make2023BootableMedia should have an option to download oscdimg if not present #333
Description
Feature Overview
Currently Make2023BootableMedia.ps1 requires oscdimg to be present, and asks for the whole ADK to be installed if it is not.
However, oscdimg, being a component built with Windows, is present on the public symbol server:
- AMD64:
https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/oscdimg.exe/9F01AFB765000/oscdimg.exe - ARM64:
https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/oscdimg.exe/2267BF2C66000/oscdimg.exe - x86:
https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/oscdimg.exe/CFBCC93A60000/oscdimg.exe - ARMv7:
https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/oscdimg.exe/5215811C60000/oscdimg.exe
Thus the script could download just oscdimg instead of needing the whole ADK.
Solution Overview
Provide an option to download oscdimg from the public symbol server if it is not present.

Indeed. We'll look into it.

How would you propose tracking when the ADK eventually gets re-released, because you might end up with a different set of oscdimg files than this current list?

oscdimg has not been updated in over a decade as far as I can tell; the ARMv7 compile (which I listed for completion purposes) dates from win8.1 era and is the same version as the other three architectures from bromine ADK (oscdimg v2.56, dated 2012).
regarding tracking ADK releases, I can only propose tracking updates to the ADK version history page (which is generated from a markdown file in a private git repo anyway), but someone inside NTDEV domain probably has a better solution than that.
