<#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Installs PowerShell scripts as Windows Services.

    .DESCRIPTION
        Installs or removes PowerShell script services.
        When installing, any additional command line arguments besides the mandatory ones are supplied as arguments to the script you are installing, and credentials for the service will be prompted for.
        The service will be installed for automatic start, however the initial state is 'Stopped'

        This tool will additionally pass the switch -Service to the target script which it should implement to know it is running as a service.
