Subject: [PATCH] Ensure capture media exists for app installation

Forces the creation of capture media if app installation is enabled and the capture ISO does not already exist.

This change prevents a failure later in the build process by ensuring the necessary media is available.

 #Override $InstallApps value if using ESD to build FFU. This is due to a strange issue where building the FFU

 #This behavior doesn't happen with WIM files.
