Xbox 360 Wireless Controller with XBMC on Windows

I just purchased the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows.  This controller was pretty easy to install.  I wanted to have the controller also operate XBMC.  I am running XBMC 12 with Windows 7.

When I first started up XBMC, none of the controller inputs were recognized.
The file you will need to update is

C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\system\keymaps\joystick.Microsoft.Xbox.360.Controller.xml

Here is the working file that I was able to simply drop in.  Hopefully this works for you as well.
