+====Shared additional classes====
+These zipped resources aren't yet available. They are going to be downloaded by the GUI.
+There are supposed to be many files in that zip. Due to copyright concerns the files are encrypted and will be made available only if Oni retail resources are found on client computer.
+====XSI addon====
+Normally you have to install a *.xsiaddon file by hand but it seems that is just gets unzipped to another folder. So that can be automated.
+Also, the scripts don't need much space so they will ship embedded inside the GUI.
