.NAME
    SPInstall

# Description
    
    **Type:** Common
    **Requires CredSSP:** No
    
    This resource is used to install the SharePoint binaries. The BinaryDir
    parameter should point to the path that setup.exe is located (not to setup.exe
    itself). The ProductKey parameter is used to inject in to the configuration
    file and validate the license key during the installation process. This module
    depends on the prerequisites already being installed, which can be done
    
    NOTE:
    This resource only supports SharePoint Server. SharePoint Foundation
    is not supported. For examples to install SharePoint Foundation using DSC, see:
    https://github.com/PowerShell/SharePointDsc/wiki/SPInstall (Example 3)
    
    NOTE 2:
    When files are downloaded from the Internet, a Zone.Identifier alternate data
    stream is added to indicate that the file is potentially from an unsafe source.
    To use these files, make sure you first unblock them using Unblock-File.
    SPInstall will throw an error when it detects the file is blocked.
    
    ## Multilingual support
    
    Where possible, resources in SharePointDsc have been written in a way that
    they should support working with multiple language packs for multilingual
    deployments. However due to constraints in how we set up and install the
    product, only English ISOs are supported for installing SharePoint.

SharePoint in this scenario are stored at C:\SPInstall (so it will look to run
C:\SPInstall\Setup.exe)

    Configuration Example
    {
        param(
            [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
            [PSCredential]
            $SetupAccount
        )
        Import-DscResource -ModuleName SharePointDsc

        node localhost {
            SPInstall InstallBinaries
            {
                IsSingleInstance = "Yes"
                BinaryDir = "C:\SPInstall"
                ProductKey = "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX"
            }
        }
    }

.EXAMPLE 2

This module will install SharePoint to the specific locations set for the

            $SetupAccount
        )
        Import-DscResource -ModuleName SharePointDsc

        node localhost {
            SPInstall InstallBinaries
            {
                IsSingleInstance = "Yes"
                BinaryDir = "D:\SharePoint\Binaries"
                InstallPath = "D:\SharePoint\Install"
