Windows 11, version 22H2

[Penguin766]

Expected behaviour

Download the latest ISO of Windows 11.

Actual behaviour

Can't download, shows a error message saying: Download URL not leading to Microsoft CDN.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Trying to download Windows 11 using quickget and it doesn't download because of a error.
The reason of the issue is the new 22H2 release of Windows 11 where the ISO images for the old version are no longer available to download on the Microsoft website.

I thought I was having a similar issue, but it turns out my brand new Linux installation just did not have curl installed.

Getting Windows 11 URL...
/usr/bin/quickget: line 1832: curl: command not found
Download URL not leading to Microsoft CDN

A simple
sudo apt install curl
fixed that for me.

[gnudoc]

I have reproduced this bug on a fresh install of ubuntu 22.10.

As feslerj points out, the workaround is to install curl.

I would suggest that the correct solution is to make the ppa / aur package etc depend on curl, thereby ensuring that curl is installed.

Thanks.

i have curl installed on ubuntu but it give the error still ?
all 8 10 11 not work

I added
echo "${DOWNLOAD_URL}"
before the error and it says

On Nobara Linux 36 (Thirty Six)
can't download windows

 [justin@derp-x8664 quickemu]$ ./quickget windows 11
Getting Windows 11 URL...
Download URL not leading to Microsoft CDN
[justin@derp-x8664 quickemu]$ 

any advice

[bert1fegg]

Ditto 66schoollane. Pop_OS! host system for me. Fab project though. Don't want to sound ungrateful.

[skythomp16]

I am having the same issue on Linux Mint 21.1 and curl is installed. Gives the same "Download URL not leading to Microsoft CDN" for both Windows 10 and 11.

[Alons21]

Having the same issue with curl installed on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS both for windows 10 and 11.

[blconway]

I was able to get the script to continue by commenting out the 4 lines after 'MS_BASE_URL="https://software.download.prss.microsoft.com/"' as shown below. Maybe their CDN changed or they are using multiple CDNs?

#    if [[ ! ${DOWNLOAD_URL} =~ ^${MS_BASE_URL} ]]; then
#        echo "Download URL not leading to Microsoft CDN"
#        exit 1
#    fi

After running the quickget command again I got:

quickget windows 10 "English"
Getting Windows 10 URL...
Downloading Windows 10, Version 22H2 (build 19045.2006)...
ERROR! Failed to download https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/ with wget. Try running 'quickget' again.

[givtrah]

This is a problem with the site https://tb.rg-adguard.net/public.php and/or the microsoft download server.

Upon choosing a windows version in the drop down menus I get told that: "File is not available for download".

It seems like quickget need another way to download windows isos... and/or let us use an already downloaded iso.

[skythomp16]

I agree with @givtrah , we need to be able to use an already downloaded ISO which would be very easy - just download the ISO yourself and use it instead so it doesn't get broken every time the CDN changes.

[blconway]

In quickget, I commented out:
# web_get "${DOWNLOAD_URL}" "${VM_PATH}" "${FILE_NAME}"
in addition to the previous 4 lines mentioned above. I then downloaded the same windows 10 iso (Win10_22H2_English_x64.iso) from the Microsoft website and dropped it in the windows-10 folder that quickget created. The rest of the command finished as normal since there was no need to grab the iso and the script didn't try.

Obviously that isn't a viable solution currently, but maybe we can rework the script/command to allow an existing iso as input?

[givtrah]

@blconway excellent suggestion, I just tried and that workaround worked for me as well.

[snis]

With DEBUG enabled. I get this output (funny with .ru mail address):

Same problem here with Nixos 22.11.

Yes this conversation goes on in #612 for some reason rg-adguard.net site does not able to produce download link.
