After initialization, either warn user to install something or make GDF — at Version 1

Description (last modified by Iritscen)
Currently the AEI does not create the GDF upon init.ing. It then finishes and waits for the user to do something. If the user is a little confused and hits Run Oni, he gets even more confused when Oni won't run (correction: Oni does run because it looks one level up when it doesn't find AE/GDF and latches onto Oni/GDF; thus it runs vanilla Oni, guaranteeing to confuse the player).
The simplest option, a bit hacky, is to show a dialog saying "You need to install something before you can play Oni." (AEI1 used to say "Done! Now select your mod packages and click install.")
A better option is to do a preliminary installation, with the core packages in place for a "virgin AE" experience, and then only after that allow the user to take some action, whether it's running Oni or picking more mods to install.
Added "correction:" to descrip. Removed third option that I mentioned, because it would be identical to the current behavior (running Oni after init.ing gives you vanilla Oni).
