Write-Verbose : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Message' because it is null

[russ960]

Fixed issue where default instance failed as the name would be truncated after the first character. Once this was done the code properly updates the startup parameters.

Here is the error I got::

`PS> Set-SQLStartupParameters "localhost" "-T1499"
