Otel contrib windows service is not running - 0.124.1

[jegasmile]

Hi team,

We have otelcol-contrib_0.124.1_windows_amd64 exe and configured this as a windows service using below command

sc.exe create otelcol displayname= otelcol start= delayed-auto binPath= "C:\Program Files\OpenTelemetry Collector\otelcol-contrib.exe --config C:\Program Files\OpenTelemetry Collector\config.yaml"

C:\Temp>otelcol-contrib.exe --version
otelcol-contrib version 0.124.1�

When we try to start the service its through below error in Event logs

The OpenTelemetry Collector service terminated with the following error:
An exception occurred in the service when handling the control request.

Sample config yaml
