Windows Agent - silent install with serveractive failing

[StormScorpion]

I try to silent install Zabbix Windows Agent with ACTIVESERVER parameter, this fails. It tells my that SERVER parameter is missing, but this is wrong in active mode.
Do I something wrong or is this a bug?

Working:

msiexec /l*v log.txt /i zabbix-agent.msi /qn^
SERVER=xxx^
SERVERACTIVE=xxx^
HOSTNAME=xxx^
TLSCONNECT=psk^
TLSACCEPT=psk^
TLSPSKIDENTITY=xxx^
TLSPSKVALUE=xxx

Not Working:

msiexec /l*v log.txt /i zabbix-agent.msi /qn^
SERVERACTIVE=xxx^
HOSTNAME=xxx^
TLSCONNECT=psk^
TLSACCEPT=psk^
TLSPSKIDENTITY=xxx^
TLSPSKVALUE=xxx​

Log:

Because the Server parameter is marked mandatory in config files.

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/appendix/config/zabbix_agentd_win#server

(Mandatory: yes, if StartAgents is not explicitly set to 0)

Hi - this actually still does not work as of Agent 6.4.11 or 7.0.3, even when specifying StartAgents=0. Command and log from MSIEXEC below:

msiexec /i "C:\Users\REDACTED\Downloads\zabbix_agent2-6.4.11-windows-amd64-openssl.msi" ALLUSERS=1 /qn /norestart /log output.log LOGTYPE=file LOGFILE="C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent 2\zabbix.log" ENABLEREMOTECOMMANDS=1 HOSTNAMEITEM=system.hostname[fqdn,lower] SERVERACTIVE=REDACTED HOSTMETADATAITEM=system.uname ALLOWDENYKEY="AllowKey=system.run[*]" STARTAGENTS=0 /l*v C:\zabbix.log
