Brief summary of changes

This PR introduces a helper script that automates the creation of metadata and required source files for building a Patch My PC Custom App based on a customer-provided Microsoft 365 Apps Office Configuration XML file.

The script:

  • Parses the provided Office configuration XML
  • Validates the selected update channel and version via Microsoft’s release API
  • Generates install and uninstall XML files
  • Prepares recommended detection logic inputs
  • Produces structured metadata aligned to the Office configuration
  • Supports both online (CDN streaming) and optional offline packaging modes
  • Optionally generates an Intune Win32 package

The goal is to provide a repeatable and validated packaging approach for Microsoft 365 Apps while reducing manual configuration errors.

Bug Fix

Removed non language from Notes output if the option "For uninstalled MSI versions of Office, install the same languages" is toggled

Ensure output XML name is consistent with $outputConfigName

Removed error handling for DisplayLevel as it doesnt require interaction in that mode
