How do I update windows exporter with config-file...using msiexec? more in-depth docs on using config file

[njoylif]

Hello, new to github, so bear with me if improper process/formatting...

I'm trying to get this exporting using a config file and can't figure out formatting when updating with msiexec.
I've tried:
msiexec /i c:\netdata\windows_exporter-0.25.1-amd64.msi --% EXTRA_FLAGS="--config.file=c:\netdata\netdata_config.yaml"
I've been able to get it exporting defaults using:
msiexec /i c:\netdata\windows_exporter-0.25.1-amd64.msi ENABLED_COLLECTORS="[default]"
that works.
I can't seem to get IIS exporting when using config nor this commandline:
msiexec /i c:\netdata\windows_exporter-0.25.1-amd64.msi ENABLED_COLLECTORS="[default],iis,process"

I also need formatting examples of config file past what's there. not sure what's right and cant seem to test it yet.
i.e. do I just remove this section if I want all services and tasks? Are wildcards supported?
#collector:
service:
services-where: Name='windows_exporter'
scheduled_task:
include: /Microsoft/.+

One way - msiexec /i C:\windows_exporter-0.25.1-amd64.msi ENABLED_COLLECTORS=cpu,cs,iis,logical_disk,net,os,memory,process,tcp,service,system,textfile LISTEN_PORT=9182

The second way - using the config file
msiexec /i "C:\windows_exporter\windows_exporter-0.25.1-amd64.msi" --% EXTRA_FLAGS="--config.file=C:\windows_exporter\config.yml"

config.yml

Note this is not an exhaustive list of all configuration values #cpu,cs,logical_disk,net,os,service,system,textfile,iis

collectors:
enabled: cpu,iis,cs,logical_disk,net,os #please add collector name here using comma separated
collector:
service:
services-where: Name='windows_exporter'
scheduled_task:
include: /Microsoft/.+
log:
level: debug
scrape:
timeout-margin: 0.5
telemetry:
path: /metrics
max-requests: 5
web:
listen-address: ":9182"

I'll test, though I couldn't seem to get it working last time I tried.
thanks for your response/time! I'll post results

msiexec /i windows_exporter-0.25.1-amd64.msi --% EXTRA_FLAGS="--config.file=C:\Users<username>\downloads\config.yml"
