Hey Guys

Just did a install on a server 2016 box, and the service wont start. Generic error 1067, process terminated unexpectedly.

@Timanator is there anything in the elasticsearch.log file in the configured logs directory?

  1. Did you install as a service? If so, did you set the service to start after install?
  2. Did the MSI successfully install? If not, do you have the MSI log file (a link is provided in the UI to it on unsuccessful install, otherwise it will be in %TEMP% directory with a name conforming to MSI*.log)?
