	.DESCRIPTION
		This advanced function will allow you to install the ESXi Host Client
    On all the hosts in a specified cluster.
    .Example
    Install-HostClient -Cluster (Get-Cluster Management-CL) -Datastore (Get-Datastore NFS-SAS-300GB-A) -vibfullpath c:\temp\esxui-2976804.vib

    .Example
    $ds = Get-Datastore Main-shared
    $Cluster = Main-CL
    Install-HostClient -Cluster $cluster -Datastore $ds -vibfullpath c:\temp\esxui-2976804.vib

    .Notes
    You must use shared storage for this to work correctly, otherwise only a single host will be able to install the vib and all others will fail
