    .SYNOPSIS
        Configuration that creates a new Windows service from an executable.

    .DESCRIPTION
        Configuration that creates a new Windows service from an executable.
        The executable must be built to run as a Windows service.

    .PARAMETER Path
        The path to the executable for the Windows service.

    .PARAMETER Name
        The name of the Windows service to be created.

    .EXAMPLE
        xService_CreateServiceConfig -Path 'C:\FilePath\MyServiceExecutable.exe' -Name 'Service1'

        Compiles a configuration that creates a new service with the name Service1
        using the executable path 'C:\FilePath\MyServiceExecutable.exe'.
        If the service with the name Service1 already exists and the executable
        path is different, then the executable will be changed for the service.
        The service is started by default if it is not running already.
