I think it may be too late by that point, but I will look into it. My other
thought is maybe we can do something with the installer? If we could move
these dialogs into that, all the problems go away. It would also allow us
to keep the very specific windows stuff isolated.

I guess I'll start researching if that can be done and how to do it if it
can.
