if you referenced a seperate compiled program, such as a vb exec then you could create a form that looks similiar. But there wouldnt be a way of making a plus xml script window that looks the same.

I would beg to differ. What you need to do is to add the setting changes in "<WindowTmpl>" (the window template) in the xml to get rid of any border and anything like that, put the pic in the background and if you can try to photoshop the words out and put them in using <EditControl> so that it is also selectable (remember to use [url] tags for the hyperlink). And finally you will need a couple of buttons (including close) to look like the ones there. And make sure the window doesn't have anything allowed in <window><titlebar> either.
With all of this hard work you should have a great mock up of the window, just make sure you also have one like if you sen the error report just incase your victim press that button.

However, if you know the theme in use, and that the theme is not likely to be changed, then is the way you would go about doing it.
