Answer 1

See , you just need to do below: (don't delete any environment variable already set)

• Step 1: Edit elasticsearch-service.bat located in \bin
• Step 2: Add below line at the beginning (below @echo) SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_162 (or your Java path)
• Step 3: locate %%JAVA_HOME%% in the same file and replace it with %JAVA_HOME%
• Step 4: then from cmd in bin folder run: elasticsearch-service.bat install
• Step 5: That's it, simply run elasticsearch-service now from cmd and it will run.
