Collector install fails with missing credentials when using install commands in a PowerShell script on Windows

Problem:

I am writing a script for PowerShell but I am running into an error when trying to install the collector from the CLI. I am issuing this command: 

C:\Deployment\Installers\SumoCollector.exe -q -console -Vsumo.accessid=xxxxxxxxxxxx -Vsumo.accesskey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -Vcollector.name="$TAG_VALUE - $INSTANCE_ID"

I have tried using quotes around the access key. I keep getting this error:

Missing credentials in quiet mode installation. Please reinstall with credentials

Resolution:

Here are a couple of sample windows CLI commands that will ensure that the collector installer executable gets passed the arguments supplied within a PowerShell script. Be sure to customize the command to your specific use case:

Solution A:

Utilize the PowerShell command "Start-Process" to execute the command

Start-Process "C:\Deployment\Installers\SumoCollector.exe" "-console -q -Vsumo.accessid=<id> -Vsumo.accesskey=<key>" -Vcollector.name="$TAG_VALUE - $INSTANCE_ID" -Wait

Solution B:

Call the "cmd.exe" to execute the cli command

cmd.exe /C '"C:\Deployment\Installers\SumoCollector.exe" -console -q -Vsumo.accessid=<id> -Vsumo.accesskey=<key> -Vcollector.name="$TAG_VALUE - $INSTANCE_ID"'
