Previously, stdout from an installer was redirected to Write-Host. For some installers, this can cause an overwhelming amount of information to be written to the console. Instead write that output to the Verbose log.

Right now, stdout and stderr are redirected from an installer. stderr is correctly using Write-Error, but stdout is redirected to Write-Host. For some installers that put out a lot of output, this could be a bit overwhelming. Instead we should write it to the Verbose log instead.
An example is the netbeans installer
