windows vista -> nsis using game explorer

hi, could someone help using the igameexplorer interface from windows vista with nsis' system.dll?

i already have my executable modified with the gdf (game definition file) data as described in the ms directx sdk. now, the next step to take is registering the executable via an api call.

here is what the directx sdk readme states

Once the GDF and related files have been added to a binary resource, it is then possible to integrate the game with Game Explorer. It is strongly advised that games integrate with Game Explorer during the installation process. The outline to the integration process is as follows:[list=1][*]Install ALL files to the user's hard drive. The next step activates parental controls and could potentially lock the user out of the installation directory. [*]Create an instance to the IGameExplorer interface. [*]Call the VerifyAccess method, of the IGameExplorer interface and pass it the path to the GDF. [*]Call the AddGame method, of the IGameExplorer interface and pass it the path to the GDF, the path to the root installation directory, and a unique GUID called the game instance ID. [*]Create shortcuts, which are Game Explorer tasks, by using the game instance ID. Game Explorer tasks are explained in the next section.[/list=1]
