I could reproduce the problem in the latest build

What happened?

A Deploy a Windows Service step will fail if the step is configured to run with PowerShell Core.

PowerShell Core doesn't support WMI calls, which the Windows Service step relies on.

Reproduction

Add a Deploy a Windows Service step Click Configure Features and select the PowerShell Edition feature In the PowerShell Edition feature section, select PowerShell Core

Error and Stacktrace

Method invocation failed because [Deserialized.System.Management.ManagementObject#root\cimv2\Win32_Service] does not contain a method named 'change''

More Information

The WMI calls in https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/Calamari/blob/main/source/Calamari/Scripts/Octopus.Features.WindowsService_BeforePostDeploy.ps1 will need to be replaced with their CIM equivilants

Workaround

Ensure that the PowerShell Edition is set to Windows PowerShell (Desktop) or remove the feature from the step
