Can't run ElasticSearch

[zepp_e]

Hey guys,

I try to install ElasticSearch but when I download it and try to set it up via the command window it looks like the following:

'// C:\Users\josef>cd C:\Program Files\elasticsearch-7.8.0

C:\Program Files\elasticsearch-7.8.0>bin\elasticsearch.bat
"Files\elasticsearch-7.8.0\jdk""" kann syntaktisch an dieser Stelle nicht verarbeitet werden.'

Can anybody help me with that? Thank you in advance.

@zepp_e

kann syntaktisch an dieser Stelle nicht verarbeitet werden

Google translate tells me that is;

cannot be processed syntactically at this point

Is that right>

I tried it again with an english language package.
The Output is:

Files\elasticsearch-7.8.0\jdk"" was unexpected at this time

Seems like it cut of the path, because my installation is in C:\Program Files

I don't think it works well with directories that have spaces in the name, try another directory.

Ok it's weird that 7.7 doesn't have this issue.

Tried it with another folder without a space in it's name.
Now i get the following exception:

Error: Could not find or load main class org.elasticsearch.common.settings.KeyStoreCli
