Fix OSCDIMG detection

Description

Win11 Creator only checked the Windows ADK and per-user WinGet package directories for oscdimg.exe. This caused machine-wide installations to be reported as missing. Since WinGet can install OSCDIMG outside the default per-user directory, the same discovery checks now run again after installation.

I reproduced the issue by installing OSCDIMG machine-wide:

winget install -e --id Microsoft.OSCDIMG --scope machine

The existing lookup failed to find this installation and produced the error shown below:

The updated lookup also checks for oscdimg.exe on PATH. This successfully detects the machine-wide WinGet installation through its executable link:

C:\Program Files\WinGet\Links\oscdimg.exe

It also covers other valid installations available on PATH, including the working symlink reported in the linked issue.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved ISO export reliability by locating the required Windows image creation tool across existing Windows ADK, WinGet, and system PATH installations before attempting additional installation.
  • ISO export now checks again after automatic installation, helping ensure the tool is detected correctly and reducing avoidable export failures while preserving existing error handling.

Walkthrough

The ISO exporter now uses Get-WinUtilOSCDImgPath to find oscdimg.exe in ADK, WinGet, PATH, and link directories. It repeats the lookup after automatic WinGet installation.

Changes

ISO export tool discovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
oscdimg.exe discovery and export integration functions/private/Invoke-WinUtilISO.ps1	The new helper searches supported ADK, WinGet, PATH, and link locations. ISO export uses the helper before and after the WinGet installation attempt.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 60c51

The lookup now retries after installation and checks PATH, but it still omits configured WinGet portable package roots; valid installations there can remain undetected and block ISO creation. The PR is not merge-ready until this gap is fixed or explicitly accepted.

WinGet installation branch so newly installed or machine-wide executables are
found. Extract the ADK, per-user WinGet, and PATH checks into a reusable helper
near the existing discovery flow, invoke it both before and after installation,
and refresh or explicitly inspect machine PATH when installation modifies it
