Just as an aside, can you tell us why you need this? And why it's easier to rework the container than it is to adjust the packaging of the application?
Mind, I'm not suggesting you change the path you're going down, as you've had some success in the past. But I am curious what your application is doing that it needs this versus the standard applications packaging.
