There are a number of files that need to be in the right place for this to work.

1) The HackRF and Osmocom libraries - look for the UHD, GNU Radio or
related DLL files
2) The python modules for the gr-* blocks, this includes gr-osmocom -
look for some of the default GNU Radio blocks
3) The blocks are described in xml files named after them - again,
look for files named after existing blocks

Unfortunately I'm running Linux on this system, so I'm unable to try
this out right now.
