Can't install with --% EXTRA_FLAGS: got "Invalid command line argument" error from windows installer

[rc5hack]

This works:

$PSNativeCommandArgumentPassing = 'Legacy'
msiexec /i windows_exporter-0.23.1-amd64.msi ENABLED_COLLECTORS="cpu,cpu_info,cs,logical_disk,net,os,service,system,process"

This don't work:

$PSNativeCommandArgumentPassing = 'Legacy'
msiexec /i windows_exporter-0.23.1-amd64.msi ENABLED_COLLECTORS="cpu,cpu_info,cs,logical_disk,net,os,service,system,process" --% EXTRA_FLAGS="--collector.service.services-where ""Name LIKE '%foo%'""";

I got pop-up window with text:

Invalid command line argument. Consult the Windows Installer SDK for detailed command line help.

What's wrong with my installation command?

The command looks alright, I just tested it. It might be some weird msiexec issue. Maybe you could checkout this and try to reregister msiexec

[rc5hack]

I experimented with command syntax and the problem was solved when I removed the semicolon at the end of the command.

So this didn't work (";" symbol at the end):

$PSNativeCommandArgumentPassing = 'Legacy'
msiexec /i windows_exporter-0.23.1-amd64.msi ENABLED_COLLECTORS="..." --% EXTRA_FLAGS="--collector.service.services-where ""Name LIKE '%foo%'""";

And this worked (no ";" at the end):

$PSNativeCommandArgumentPassing = 'Legacy'
msiexec /i windows_exporter-0.23.1-amd64.msi ENABLED_COLLECTORS="..." --% EXTRA_FLAGS="--collector.service.services-where ""Name LIKE '%foo%'"""

And this worked(cmd)：

msiexec /i D:\soft\windows_exporter-0.24.0-amd64.msi ENABLED_COLLECTORS="cpu,cs,logical_disk,net,os,service,system,textfile,mssql" EXTRA_FLAGS="--collectors.mssql.classes-enabled=accessmethods,availreplica,bufman,databases,dbreplica,genstats,locks,memmgr,sqlstats"
