PREINSTALL SCOPE
Sixteen entries carried PCTypes ['*'], so a Display kiosk installed Adobe
Acrobat, OpenText HostExplorer, WJF Defect Tracker, the shopfloor serial drivers
and twelve legacy VC++ redistributables. Those are now scoped to the nine
machine-tool types.
A Display now installs 3 of 21 entries:
PowerShell 7.5.4 SFLD-ApplyDSCConfig runs pwsh.exe 7
VC++ Redistributable 2015-2022 x64 modern x64 runtime Edge/WebView2/PS7 lean on
Display Kiosk App already Display-scoped
Kept as wildcards deliberately - removing the x64 runtime risks breaking the
kiosk itself, and PS7 is a hard dependency of the DSC task. Everything else a
kiosk has no use for. Edited as targeted text replacement, 16 line pairs, so the
file's formatting and its long _comment blocks are untouched.
THE LAST OF THE EMPTY-MEANS-DEFAULT BUGS
Configure-PC.ps1 and 07-TaskbarLayout.ps1 had the same test as the two fixed
earlier: $null -ne $cfg -AND .Count -gt 0, so an explicitly empty list fell
through to a hardcoded shopfloor default. Configure-PC is the one that actually
bit - it runs in the finalization phase and put these in the all-users Startup
folder on 579C144, timestamped mid-image:
Defect Tracker.lnk 16:46:03
Plant Apps.lnk 16:46:03
Plant Apps launching msedge --new-window on a kiosk. eDNC was in the same
hardcoded list and only escaped because its Test-Path guard found no DncMain.exe.
08-EdgeDefaultBrowser.ps1 had it too, with a Plant Apps + WJ Shopfloor + Dashboard
tab fallback. Harmless today because the Display profiles configure a real tab,
but one edit away from biting.
Get-ProfileValue returns $null only when a key is absent from BOTH the profile
and site-config, so $null is the only honest "not configured" signal and an
empty array means what it says.
VERIFIED against the post-fix capture: the S: mapper Run key and the machine
number prompt task are both gone, and 'ShopDB Kiosk Bootstrap' registered
correctly with boot and time triggers.
Also: the collector's StartupApproved decoder now handles 0x04/0x05, which that
same capture surfaced as unknown.
Still baked into the WIM and unaffected by any of this: WJ Shopfloor.lnk, dated
April, sitting in the all-users Startup folder.
