This allows the script to run in privileged mode without the need for somebody to click the UAC dialog. Using a similar mechanism, we could install a known good copy of the service when the machine boots up, and when we're ready to run the tests, the first test can install the new service binary which comes from the build, and then the later tests can go ahead and use the service. This way we can ignore the problem of anything going wrong as part of our test run, since the next time that the machine boots up, it's going to get the known good version of the service. | This allows the script to run in privileged mode without the need for somebody to click the UAC dialog.
