Error in Version 4.4

[sayeesrivenky]

We are using version 4.4 and while deploying a non-top shelf service we get this error. Error does not occur in TopShelf Service though.
"The term '\Add-LocalUserToLogonAsAService.ps1' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again."

Hi again.
Removing the target machine from the deployment group and re-registering it solved it for me. Sorry for reporting before trying "everything"
