No matter what, it would bring up the dialog. I don't know if I was doing something wrong in my XML or not. I just gave up.

And that was really just some hard-coded hacks (modified the if/else where it checks for i386 and amd64 to also look for source). Then I just copied the other files it looks for over to my win7 os directory to get past the read-the-files-and-determine-the-version part. So my changes are pretty much worthless in terms of something to build from. Doug
