Allen Houchins 7ba5d4cfcc Add Windows FMAs (letter F): 5 apps (#49218)
**Related issue:** N/A — part of the Windows Fleet-maintained apps
catalog expansion (letter F batch; follows #48872, #48881, #48950,
#48969, #49086, #49186).

Adds eight new Windows Fleet-maintained apps:

| App | winget package | Installer | Notes |
|-----|----------------|-----------|-------|
| Foxit PDF Editor | `Foxit.PhantomPDF` | WiX bootstrapper EXE, machine,
x64 | Covers both "Foxit PDF Editor" and "…Pro" from the inventory (one
package). Runs an updater service → process-stopping uninstall. ARP key
lives in the WOW6432Node hive. |
| Foxit PDF Reader | `Foxit.FoxitReader` | WiX bootstrapper EXE,
machine, x64 | Distinct DisplayName from the Editor (verified via
msiinfo). Updater service → process-stopping uninstall. |
| FreeCAD | `FreeCAD.FreeCAD` | NSIS (MultiUser), machine, x64 |
`/AllUsers /S`; versioned ARP name ("FreeCAD 1.1.1") → `FreeCAD%` fuzzy.
|
| FastPictureViewer Professional |
`AxelRietschin.FastPictureViewer.Professional` | MSI, machine, x64 |
Versioned ARP name → fuzzy. Unversioned URL → `ignore_hash`. Declares
VCRedist deps (near-ubiquitous; noted). |
| FastStone Capture | `FastStone.Capture` | NSIS, machine, x86 | `/S`;
versioned ARP name → fuzzy. Paid trialware, but silent
install/detect/uninstall are clean. |
| FastStone Image Viewer | `FastStone.Viewer` | NSIS, machine, x86 |
`/S`; versioned ARP name → fuzzy. |
| FlexWhere for Desktop | `Dutchview.Flexwhere` | MSI, machine, x64 |
Auto-start tray app → process-stopping uninstall (stop process, then
msiexec /x via UpgradeCode). |
| Fortify | `PeculiarVentures.Fortify` | WiX MSI, machine, x64 (en-US) |
Smart-card/cert bridge; auto-start tray → process-stopping uninstall.
Per-arch+locale ProductCode, so `installer_locale: en-US`. |

Considered but **not** added (recorded in the workstream tracker):
- **FactSet Workstation** (`FactSet.FactSetWorkstation`): MSI defaults
to per-user (ALLUSERS=2 + MSIINSTALLPERUSER=1) with no machine-scope
override, AND a `SpawnFDSWorkstation` custom action launches the app at
install (headless-hang risk in a SYSTEM session). Niche licensed
terminal.
- **Filius** (`StefanFreischlad.Filius`): winget manifest is de-DE only
(no en-US locale); the ingester hard-codes the en-US locale fetch (same
limitation that deferred Araxis Merge).
- **FlashFXP** (`OpenSight.FlashFXP`): abandoned (frozen at 2017), the
vendor site returns HTTP 500, only a 16×16 icon is available, and its
InstallAware uninstall needs a fragile cached-setup `/s` injection.
- **Front** (`FrontApp.Front`): per-user-only electron-builder installer
(`Front-user-*.exe` → `%LocalAppData%`, HKCU); no machine/all-users
artifact in winget.
- **Autodesk Fusion** (`Autodesk.Fusion`): the winget "installer" is
`Fusion Client Downloader.exe`, a per-user streaming/web bootstrapper
that downloads at runtime, hangs headless, and needs interactive
Autodesk sign-in.

Identities verified per app (msiinfo Property tables; NSIS header
decompilation; winget AppsAndFeaturesEntries; uninstall-database
corroboration). Apps that run a service or auto-start tray (both Foxit
products, FlexWhere, Fortify) get process-stopping uninstalls up front
to avoid the MSI-rollback failure class. SHAs verified against manifests
for pinned URLs; `ignore_hash` only for FastPictureViewer's
actively-maintained latest-pointer URL. Icons via
`tools/software/icons/generate-icons.sh` (all ≥256px except
FastPictureViewer/Fortify at 256/180).

Testing locally

Deploying the website

To deploy changes to the website to production, merge changes to the main branch. If the changes affect the website's code, or touch any files that the website relies on to build content, such as the query library, osquery schema, docs, handbook, articles, etc., then the website will be redeployed.

Wondering how this works? This is implemented in a GitHub action in this repo. Check out the code there to see how it works! For help understanding what sails run and npm run commands in there do, check the scripts in website/package.json and in website/scripts/.

Changing the database schema

To deploy new code to production that relies on changes to the database schema or other external systems (e.g. Stripe), first put the website in "maintenance mode" in Heroku. Then, make your changes in the database schema. Next, if you have a script to fix/migrate existing data, go ahead and run it now. (e.g. sails run fix-or-migrate-existing-data). Then, merge your changes and wait for the deploy to finish. Finally, switch off "maintenance mode" in Heroku.

Note that entering maintenance mode prevents visitors from using the website, so it should be used sparingly, and ideally at low-traffic times of day.

Warning: Doing an especially sensitive schema migration? There is a potential timing issue to consider, thanks to an infrastructure change that eliminated downtime during deploys by using Heroku's built-in support for hot-swapping.

Wiping the production database

I hope you know what you're doing. The "easiest" kind of database schema migration:

sails_datastores__default__url='REAL_DB_URI_HERE' sails run wipe

Then when you see the sailboat, hit CTRL+C to exit. All done!
