> The Windows code does several cleanup actions during pre_capture.  Some of them are a bit crude and could cause problems with things such as Windows Update.  For example, the following are being deleted:
> * C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\*
> * C:\SoftwareDistribution\Download\*
> It would be better to let dism.exe and cleanmgr.exe handle all of the cleanup unless there are files known to be 100% safe to delete.
> The cleanmgr.exe code has hard-coded registry entries for items to clean up.  These represent the checkboxes you see when you run _Disk Cleanup_.  The options vary based on version and which features are installed.  There are options for Windows 8 and later not being used.  This should be updated.
