Anyone have any idea how to make elasticsearch run as a windows service?
Thank you
Walter
Did you follow the generic approach? Or what difficulties did you
encounter?

There is also the service wrapper effort going on: GitHub - elastic/elasticsearch-servicewrapper: A service wrapper on top of elasticsearch, which should allow to install elasticsearch "as a windows service".. Also, there is a windows installation project in github, but not properly online to find it...

Its at GitHub - rgl/elasticsearch-setup: elasticsearch oss installer for windows.

Did not try any approach.
I don't know Java, don't know where to begin.
I followed your link, which led me to many others. Many way over my head.
After about 2 hours of trying this "app" and that "app, I settled on "*
WinRun4J*"
I got the sample piece to run. But I am stumped on getting *elasticsearch *to
run.
The CONFIG file asks for a class. The sample has this line:
service.class=org.boris.winrun4j.test.ServiceTest
Not knowing Java, as I said, I don't know what to put here.
The config has this, as its example...
service.class=org.boris.winrun4j.test.ServiceTest
service.id=ServiceTest
service.name=WinRun4J Test Service
service.description=An example service using WinRun4J.
I did this (not) much
service.class=????
service.id=????
service.name=ElasticSearch
service.description=ElasticSearch as a Windows Service.
can you help me finish this config file settings?
Thank you
Walter
I suggest
service.class=org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch
service.id=elasticsearch
Have a look at https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/blob/master/bin/elasticsearch.bat
to find more params (such as classpath and memory settings)
Hope this could help

It should have been strait-forward 
At GitHub - rgl/elasticsearch-setup: elasticsearch oss installer for windows. click the Downloads
button and download
https://github.com/downloads/rgl/elasticsearch-setup/elasticsearch-0.16.2-setup-64-bit.exe
Then run it to install elasticsearch, manually start the elasticsearch
service (like a regular service), and browse to
http://localhost:9200/_cluster/state
If you don't have java installed, the setup will tell you to download
it from http://www.java.com/getjava/ and from there just click the
Download button.
Thats it.
Where exactly did you get lost?

(I did that before creating the installer/setup though, so you can
ignore the first part that talks about starting elasticsearch).
I had good success using the Apache Commons Daemon or 'procrun'.
I've done a write-up of it here:
