The beats MSIs support InstallDir as a paramater as of 8.13, unfortunately when used the service ends up having trailing slashes on the various path locations:
This may also impact normal beats MSIs as well which also appear to have trailing slashes
"C:\Program Files\Elastic\Beats\8.13.2\winlogbeat\winlogbeat.exe" --path.home "C:\Program Files\Elastic\Beats\8.13.2\winlogbeat\" --path.config "C:\Program Files\Elastic\Beats\8.13.2\winlogbeat\" --path.data "C:\Program Files\Elastic\Beats\8.13.2\winlogbeat\" --path.logs "C:\Program Files\Elastic\Beats\8.13.2\winlogbeat\" -E logging.files.redirect_stderr=true
We likely just need to strip the trailing slash off the path before quoting or appending a "." where we're using installdir
