NAME Export-MSIPatchXml
SYNOPSIS
Exports an XML representation of applicability information from a patch package.
SYNTAX
Export-MSIPatchXml [-Path] <String> [-FilePath] <String> [-Encoding <Encoding>] [-Formatted] [<CommonParameters>]

Windows Installer defines an XML schema that is representational of a patch package - specifically its
applicability information. This allows administrators and bundle developers to not require downloading the patch
package just to find out if it's applicable or even already installed.
This XML file can be passed to Get-MSIPatchSequence along with other XML files or patch packages.
