Hi,  
I have tried upgrading the Elastic Search to 6.2.2, I found the below error message:

> C:\ELK\elasticsearch-6.2.2\bin\>elasticsearch  
> \Java\jdk1.8.0\_151\bin\java.exe" -cp "C:\ELK\elasticsearch-6.2.2\lib\*" "org.elasticsearch.tools.launchers.JvmOptionsPa  
> rser" "C:\ELK\elasticsearch-6.2.2\config\jvm.options" || echo jvm\_options\_parser\_failed"`) was unexpected at this time.

And when I tried starting the service, it gives out the below message:

[2018-03-01 11:49:23] [info] [2008] Commons Daemon procrun (1.0.15.0 64-bit) started

[2018-03-01 11:49:24] [error] [2008] The data area passed to a system call is too small.

Someone could help me out please.
