I am adding new relic support to Elasticsearch on Windows. After adding -javaagent, ES starts up fine when invoked from CMD. But it will not start as a service. The error in system log viewer is "Incorrect Function". The error in "C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\Apache\commons-daemon.2022-05-25.log" is "Missing service ImageFile". Any idea why ES won't start as a service? Is there a parameter that can be passed to Elasticsearch-service-x64.exe or an env variable set (e.g. PR\_STARTIMAGE, PR\_STOPIMAGE) that can eliminate the issue? How can I get all parameters that Elasticsearch-service-x64.exe supports? I have successfully added new relic support to other components (e.g. tomcat, wildfly, ...) and have verified that -javaagent is correct and accessible and JAVA\_HOME contains no spaces. ---

Welcome to our community! 😃 I am not sure we can help here, as we don't support this approach ourselves and you may need to ask newrelic. ---

Thanks. I have opened a support ticket with them. How can I find out all the parameters that Elasticsearch-service-x64.exe supports? ---

[Install Elasticsearch with .zip on Windows | Elasticsearch Guide [8.2] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/zip-windows.html#windows-configuring) goes into that. ---

Neither 8.2.0 nor 8.2.1 have any file named _guide_ in them (or _.doc_ or \*.pdf). I downloaded from here: [Download Elasticsearch | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch) ---

I don't understand what you mean there sorry. ---

Sorry for not being clear. I unzipped both versions and searched the file system for any file with the name "guide" in it or with the extension of doc\* or PDF and found none. ---

We don't ship documentation with the code, it's all on the website. ---
