Problem description

Steps to reproduce the problem

Run the following silent install commands:

graylog_sidecar_installer_1.5.0-1.exe /S -SERVERURL=https://XXXXXXXX.graylog.cloud/api  -APITOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"C:\Program Files\graylog\sidecar\graylog-sidecar.exe" -service install
"C:\Program Files\graylog\sidecar\graylog-sidecar.exe" -service start

The following install error shows in the log: time="2024-01-17T22:24:09-05:00" level=fatal msg="Failed service action: Failed to start Graylog Sidecar: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."
The sidecar.yml entry for the api token is blank: server_api_token: ""
When the correct API is added to the yml file, the service starts successfully.

Environment

Sidecar Version: 1.5.0-1
Graylog Version: Graylog Cloud 5.2.2 (397)
Operating System: Windows Server 2019
Elasticsearch Version:
MongoDB Version:

I ended up having to script the install to just insert the API key into the YML file before starting the service.
