LocalGPO Tool for Windows 8.1

Question

I've downloaded the latest SCM 3.0 but the LocalGPO tool will not work.  It tells me that windows 8.1 is not supported.  Is there an update that I am missing or a work around?
Thanks,
Peter

Thanks Conrad,
worked like hell :-)
As some further hints for following readers:
When using localgpo and exporting with the option "/gpopack" you also have to modify the gpopack.wsf in nearly the same way:
This changes worked for me:
'Checks whether the operating system is Windows XP or _
'Windows Server 2003 or Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 or _
'Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
If(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.2") and (strProductType <> "1") then
strOS = "WS12"
ElseIf(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.2") and (strProductType = "1") then
strOS = "Win8"
ElseIf(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.1") and (strProductType <> "1") then
strOS = "WS08R2"
ElseIf(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.1") and (strProductType = "1") then
strOS = "Win7"
ElseIf(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.0") and (strProductType <> "1") then
strOS = "WS08"
ElseIf(Left(strOpVer,3) = "6.0") and (strProductType = "1") then
strOS = "VISTA"
ElseIf(Left(strOpVer,3) = "5.2") and (strProductType <> "1") then

strOS = "XP"

If Not(WScript.Arguments.Named.Exists("Silent")) Then
'strMessage = "GPOPacks only work on Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, or Windows Server 2012"
'Call MsgBox(strMessage, vbOKOnly + vbCritical, strTitle)

End If
' Call CleanupandExit
strOS = "Win8"
End If
