Sample Depot checkpoint fails to load when checkpoint is case-insensitive.

When running the helix installer and specifying a settings.cfg. It is possible to tell it to run in a different case sensitivity. We normally standardize all our installations and testing on the same sensitivity as Windows. In one case however, I set this sensitivity and then wanted the demo content. The helix installer failed to restore the demo content because of the case sensitivity of the demo checkpoint. Either the helix-installer needs to fail out during a preflight when installing the demo content with the wrong case sensitivity or you need to detect and supply a checkpoint that works with Windows case sensitivity.

Sample Depot data set is to be loaded. The Sample Depot data set is
not supported for a case-insensitive server.
