$parameters = @{
	Path                  = "$OutputFolder"
	RefreshModulePage     = $true
	AlphabeticParamsOrder = $true
	UpdateInputOutput     = $false
	ExcludeDontShow       = $true
	LogPath               = "$OutputFolder"
	Force                 = $true
	LogAppend             = $true
	Encoding              = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8

The LogPath parameter needs to be a full path to a file, not a folder. That is documented.
