FIX - Sardu 3.0 crashes Win 10 mkisofs.exe on create ISO

Hey All,

I downloaded Sardu 3.0 in Windows 10, and found that it crashes the whole system. What happens is when you select create ISO from menu, it continues to spawn mkisofs.exe until the system grinds to a halt.

I have worked out a solution to this. The issue is the version of mkisofs.exe itself crashes windows, if you run this from the SARDU\Tools folder it will crash windows.

So you need a version of mkisofs.exe that works in Windows 10, and to inject it into SARDU. Fortunately a version of mkisofs.exe that works with Windows 10 is already included.

Here's how to patch it.

1. Download a copy of 7-Zip and install
2. Open your SARDU Folder. Right-click the file SARDU-1 and select 7-zip -> open archive
3. Open the tools folder. In here you will find mkisofs.exe with a timestamp from 2009, this copy of mkisofs.exe works with Win 10.
4. Copy or extract mkisofs.exe with timestamp from 2009 to your SARDU folder.
5. Open the SARDU-1 archive again, navigate to the root folder of the archive.
6. You will find mkisofs.exe is also located in the root folder, but with a timestamp from 2005. This is the mkisofs.exe that crashes Win 10. We need to overwrite this version with the extracted 2009 timestamp version.
7. With 7-zip to overwrite mkisofs.exe all you have to do is drag the extracted 2009 mkisofs.exe file from your SARDU folder into the 7-zip window pointing at the root folder. It will update and overwrite the 2005 version.
8. Close 7-zip, delete the mkisofs.exe extracted to your SARDU folder, and you're good to go!

Hope this helps someone!

Hi,
Can you download and replace at the root of SARDU the SARDU_1 files ?
The error was in cygwin.dll
Thanks to Paolo Diana for the solution
