as an error

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

The build contains PowerShell invocations. The issue with these prior to
this change is that they are vulnerable to what ever may be in the
current user's PowerShell profile script.

They are also vulnerable to any auto-loaded PowerShell modules that may
generate warnings, as the warning output is interpreted as an error by
the MSBuild `Exec` task.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed

1. Built successfully from command line and in Visual Studio
2. Tested locally and also tested MouseWithoutBorders against second
machine.
