Remarks
This node s presence is exclusive from <CreateProcess> and <PowerShell>.
This tag specifies that AXE uses the Win32 API ShellExecuteEx() to run the assessment. This node requires the following sub nodes. Note that AXE only calls the UNICODE (wide) version of this API.
Here, AXE determines the command line as documented in the AXE Assessment Assembly Design document.
