      Run the MSI with the documented arguments:

      msiexec.exe /l*v mdbinstall.log  /qb /i mongodb-windows-x86_64-6.0-signed.msi ^
                  ADDLOCAL="ServerService,LegacyClient" ^
                  SHOULD_INSTALL_COMPASS="0"

      Run the MSI with the documented arguments: msiexec.exe /l*v mdbinstall.log  /qb /i mongodb-windows-x86_64-6.0-signed.msi ^             ADDLOCAL="ServerService,LegacyClient" ^             SHOULD_INSTALL_COMPASS="0"

      The MongoDB 6.0 [installation instructions|Install MongoDB Community on Windows using msiexec.exe — MongoDB Manual] indicate the "ImportExportTools" and "LegacyClient" should be valid options when installing with msiexec.exe, but they lead to an immediate error. Some options like "ServerNoService" still work. Is the documentation wrong or is this an installer bug?
