1. Create a profile

A warning dialog appears:

Nothing is installed then.

Fixed in HEAD >20100902.
This was similar to bug 320494.
Prior to 3.6, we prompted the user to pick which profile was in question when selecting something to install.  In the API refactoring for 3.6, this decision was placed on the ProvisioningUI's profile id, which is not known at the time it is given to the action.

The solution is to move InstallAction to the admin UI (it is internal and is not used in the SDK anyway.)  Now the action can prompt the user, keep track of the choice, and feed the proper ProvisioningUI to the wizard.  

All classes involved are internal.

retargeting milestone.
These changes were released to HEAD for M2, but never tagged for the M2 I-builds.  Since we are already into the test pass, we will defer to M3.
