Collectors enablement issue

[SumonT2]

Current Behavior

Can't change or update Collector using msiexec /i <path-to-msi-file> ENABLED_COLLECTORS=<collector list>
Using the exe file also stuck when I run any command like .\windows_exporter.exe --collectors.enabled "service"

When I install Windows Exporter with the command msiexec /i <path-to-msi-file> ENABLED_COLLECTORS=os,iis LISTEN_PORT=5000, then os and is collectors works fine. But if I re-run the command including additional collectors e.g. smb msiexec /i <path-to-msi-file> ENABLED_COLLECTORS=os,is,smb LISTEN_PORT=5000, then smb is not included as a collector.

Always get metrics from the collector which is enabled in the first time installation. To update or change the collectors, I have to uninstall and reinstall with new collectors.

Expected Behavior

running command with msiexec should update the collector list.

I will looked into this by writing the whole exporter installer.
