You will get frequently error with drivelist dependency... So we found the fix : Install VS Enterprise 2015 and everything was functional !

Our issue on drivelist

sudo prompt

option 1 (most simple):

at the start, verify if the programm was launch under administrative rights, if not ask the user to do so

option 2:

when it come to write image, try to launch the same programm by tring to known where the programm is run

on windows: use more complicated thing while dont elevate with linux
