Hello,  
I have a problem installing Elastic Agent with MSI package. When i specify `INSTALLARGS="--url=<URL> --enrollment-token=<TOKEN>` the installation ends with an error and the agent is not installed.

So i tried to run the installation without the INSTALLARGS option and it works but then i have to enroll the agent manually which is a problem because that was the purpose of the INSTALLARGS option…

Information :

- Stack Elastic : 8.15.0
- Package Elastic Agent MSI : 8.15.0

To reproduce:

- Download the Elastic Agent MSI package
- Run : `elastic-agent-8.15.0-windows-x86_64.msi INSTALLARGS="--url=<URL> --enrollment-token=<TOKEN>"` --\> ERROR
- If we run : `elastic-agent-<VERSION>-windows-x86_64.msi` --\> No error but the agent did not enroll
