Hello... Yesterday I downloaded the elasticsearch 6.4.0 Windows (MSI) Installer. I have a preexisting Java 8 install on my machine and also have JAVA\_HOME set appropriately. The installer appears to run just fine. I'm using these choices: 1. Standard Directories (let the installer decide); 2. _Not_ installed as a service; 3. "Trial" license; The installation proceeds "successfully." I find when I go to the installation directory, there are bin, lib, modules, and plug-ins (this one is empty) subdirectories but no config, data, nor logs subdirectories. Another thing worth noting is that the installation is in a directory tree that looks like Elasticsearch\6.4.0\bin et cetera If I ignore this and fire up elasticsearch.exe in an admin powershell things sort of look like they're working. But there are clues to problems--it appears the installation is looking for the config in a different directory than the installation directory ( that is, Elasticsearch\config ). The output I see is pasted as a comment to this message (otherwise I exceed the 7k character limit). Sadly, if I point a browser at localhost:9200 I am prompted for a Username and Password, neither of which I set as part of the installation process. Trying the curl-based examples fail due to the same inability to authenticate. I've tried uninstalling/re-installing but still confront this problem. Any thoughts on what's happening here and how I can fix things? Clearly the installer isn't putting things where I expect them to be and is in some cases not inserting things. Thanks in advance and all the best... ---
