   2.2 Resolved Issues
   =====================================================================
   This build ensures that:
 
   2.2.1  Virtual machines are stopped before processing is canceled.

   2.2.14 The startup folder that prevents the tool from functioning is
          removed from the virtual machine.
   
   2.2.15 The tool does not recognize images with the 64-bit version of
          Microsoft Office, which Virtual Analyzer does not currently
