function Install-IisVirtualDirectory
{
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Installs a virtual directory.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    This function creates a virtual directory under website `SiteName` at `/VirtualPath`, serving files out of `PhysicalPath`. If a virtual directory at `VirtualPath` already exists, it is deleted first, and a new virtual directory is created.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Install-IisVirtualDirectory -SiteName 'Peanuts' -VirtualPath 'DogHouse' -PhysicalPath C:\Peanuts\Doghouse
 
    Creates a /DogHouse virtual directory, which serves files from the C:\Peanuts\Doghouse directory. If the Peanuts website responds to hostname `peanuts.com`, the virtual directory is accessible at `peanuts.com/DogHouse`.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Install-IisVirtualDirectory -SiteName 'Peanuts' -VirtualPath 'Brown/Snoopy/DogHouse' -PhysicalPath C:\Peanuts\DogHouse
 
    Creates a DogHouse virtual directory under the `Peanuts` website at `/Brown/Snoopy/DogHouse` serving files out of the `C:\Peanuts\DogHouse` directory. If the Peanuts website responds to hostname `peanuts.com`, the virtual directory is accessible at `peanuts.com/Brown/Snoopy/DogHouse`.
