Description:
Calling an installer with the invalid option '-help' let the installer start.

Expected was showing a message about the wrong option, like here:

<INSTALLER> -hellp
There has been an error.
Expected option but got "-hellp". Options start with a leading "--" prefix
Use --help to get a list of valid options

I looks that this is valid only for '-help', but not for '-helpp' or anthing different.

How to repeat:
<INSTALLER> -help

Suggested fix:
show message about wrong option
