Rufus detects wrong size for Windows 8.1 Pro VL with Update (x64) ISO

[pbatard]

As per this reddit thread, Rufus reports that a 4.4 GB ISO (en_windows_8.1_pro_vl_with_update_x64_dvd_6050880.iso) is more than 17 exabytes in size!

Will try to get my hand on that ISO to see if I can replicate the same result and fix it.

Considering that I haven't been able to replicate the issue, and OP was unable/unwilling to provide additional details with regards to the non-official ISO they were using, as well as the fact that nobody else has been reporting a similar problem, I have no choice but to assume that this is an environmental issue on OP's computer.

The check for size is a fairly straightforward one, using a single call to Microsoft's APIs, and I don't see anything surrounding that code that could explain how the size could be populated so wrong. Short of having a memory leak that would overwrite the size value (but then I would expect many people to report weird issues with Rufus), I don't see how what OP experienced could have anything to do with the code.

I will close this issue, and wait for somebody else more willing to collaborate with the troubleshooting process to report a similar problem, if any.
