winutil/windev.ps1

<#
.SYNOPSIS
    This script is used as a target for the https://christitus.com/windev alias.
    It queries the latest WinUtil release (no matter if it's a Pre-Release, Draft, or Full Release) and runs it.
.DESCRIPTION
    This script provides a simple way to start the bleeding edge release even if it's not yet a full release.
    This function can be run both with administrator and non-administrator permissions.
    If it is not running as administrator, it will attempt to relaunch itself with administrator permissions.
    The script no longer uses Invoke-Expression for its execution and now relies on Start-Process.
.EXAMPLE
    Run in PowerShell > irm https://christitus.com/windev | iex
    OR
    Run in PowerShell > .\windev.ps1
    OR
    Run in PowerShell > iex "& { $(irm https://christitus.com/windev) } <arguments>"
    OR
    Run in PowerShell > .\windev.ps1 <arguments>
.NOTES
    Below are some usage examples for running the script with arguments:
    Run in PowerShell > iex "& { $(irm https://christitus.com/windev) } -Config 'C:\your\config\file\path\here'"
    OR
    Run in PowerShell > .\windev.ps1 -Config "C:\your\config\file\path\here"
    OR
    Run in PowerShell > iex "& { $(irm https://christitus.com/windev) } -Run -Config 'C:\your\config\file\path\here'"
    OR
    Run in PowerShell > .\windev.ps1 -Run -Config "C:\your\config\file\path\here"
