so the absolute path error does not come up if I give space after =  
`--certificate-authorities= /usr/share/elasticsearch/ca/ca.crt`

but I am getting a different error now

ran this command

```auto
.\elastic-agent.exe install --url=https://fleet server ip:8220 -f --fleet-server-es=https://elasticsearch ip:9200 --fleet-server-service-token= *******--fleet-server-policy=******** --certificate-authorities= /usr/share/elasticsearch/ca/ca.crt --fleet-server-es-ca= /usr/share/elasticsearch/elastic-stack-ca.p12 --fleet-server-cert= /etc/elasticsearch/fleet-server.crt --fleet-server-cert-key= /etc/elasticsearch/fleet-server.key

```

output

```auto
