    I'm compiling a custom install.wim, with images for all editions of Windows 7. Is there any way to edit the XML property sheet inside the image? More specifically the [display]name/description?

    EDIT: I know the name/description can be changed with imagex, but for some reason it doesn't seem to touch the display name/description
