As part of our installs, we're actually bypassing the whole AI service 
manifest retrieval functionality and generating the manifest on the 
client from data retrieved from external sources - that's the 'Begin' 
portion.

'Finish' is/was used to work around various bugs and limitations in AI - 
  auto reboot functionality being one of them (fixed now) as well as a 
bug in the way the console is setup up (also fixed now).

We then also have a post-install service which installs any other 
components/packages which may be required.
