Issue:
I'm attempting to build and whenever I get to the HWinfo step, it fails quickly and starts generating a log bundle. I've attached one of the latest. At first, I was trying a larger build with more apps(noticed it failed). Then I started working in a new directory and have selected the bare minimum just so I can get to HWinfo faster. Even then, it still fails.
Looking at the source code, I can see that the attempted link ends in .zip. I tried it on my browser, and it leads to the main download page. While checking the main download page, it appears that the main link is now: https://www.hwinfo.com/files/hwi64_830.exe
When upgrading to 8.30 or in other terms, 830, should the link have been changed as well? I tried changing a couple pieces here and there regarding the link and versioning in a previous environment but also couldn't get it to work.
Environment:
I have the latest PhoenixPE setup as of today 10/6/25.
I am currently using a Windows 11 23H2 ISO that I had downloaded straight from Microsoft.
Testing this on a freshly imaged laptop with Windows Defender off for the most part so it does not interfere.
