Tested installing Zabbix Agent on the same docker image with MSI. It failed to create the Firewall rule with 1603 error, but Zabbix msi has the option to skip Firewall rule creation, so with that option set it installed successfully.

Hi, the msi package is not designed for in-container environment. Please use the standalone binary or use pre-build docker images.

Hi @jkroepke
I can successfully install any MSI package in the container, but it doesn't matter if binary can't be started with Windows service inside of that container.
My issue is the same as #946
The installation via MSI package is successful in general, however it seems that windows service manages has issues inside the container
A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the windows_exporter service to connect.
As result, the MSI package marks this as installation error and does a rollback.
You could try to increase the timeout: https://support.site24x7.com/portal/en/kb/articles/timeout-error-or-unable-to-start-a-service-on-a-windows-server
Or run the standalone binary to avoid wired behaviors.
Yeah, I know that. The timeout is fine, and increasing it won't help as the Golang code works wrong in a way of understanding that was started by the Windows service inside of the container. As I mentioned before, the issue seems to be the same as in #946
I'm running .Net app in a Windows container on AWS ECS fargate, and I can't run windows_exporter other way than as a Windows service inside of that container.
#946 mention golang/go#56335
Once its resolved, it should work for you.
They invoke svc.Run as part of the main routine which introduce another issues on Windows Hosts
See also:
There are already some issue with Windows Service, if windows_exporter runs as native server under a host and some workaround are required to avoid the timeouts.
Feel free to fork and patch windows_exporter OR take care of docker best-practices and not introduce an additional service managed inside containers.

If only I was a Golang developer :)
I'm aware of docker best practices, but still, there are also good practices like running only stateless services inside of the docker containers, which is commonly violated nowadays :) My use case is kind of like that.
Anyway, thanks for your time.
