        .SYNOPSIS
        Removes AppX packages from a Windows image during MicroWin processing

        .PARAMETER UseCmdlets
            Determines whether or not to use the DISM cmdlets for processing.
            - If true, DISM cmdlets will be used
            - If false, calls to the DISM executable will be made whilst selecting bits and pieces from the output as a string (that was how MicroWin worked before
              the DISM conversion to cmdlets)
