Elastic Search on Windows XP

Wanted to give Elastic Search a spin. I have downloaded
elasticsearch-0.17.6 as a zip file. From the site's main page it was
not obvious that Elastic Search works on Windows. After installing and
reading the file README.textile, I came to know that it works on
Windows.

I had not set the environment system variable path on Windows and had
to run elasticsearch.bat from the bin folder of the installation.
However, I get an error:

I added D:\elasticsearch-0.17.6\lib\elasticsearch-0.17.6.jar; to my

What exactly have you downloaded? The source (from github), or the actual
distribution? You should download the actual distribution:
Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic.

Yes, I have downloaded the latest stable release of elasticsearch (0.17.6)
from Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic

The URL leads me to download the zip file from -
https://github.com/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.17.6.zip

Is this correct?

Then it should work. Setting JAVA_HOME and running hte elasticsearch.bat

logged using slf4j, and slf4j is not part of the actual download.

Can you edit the elasticsearch.bat file and echo the execution line (starts
with "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java")? See where things are pointing, and gist it as
well.

I think that you have CLASSPATH env var set, which is appended to the
classpath used to start elasticsearch. If you clear it, or remove it from
the following like in the batch file:

set ES_CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%ES_HOME%/lib/;%ES_HOME%/lib/sigar/

Then things should work. I will open an issue to not include the CLASSPATH
in the script, we don't really need it...

It seems like it logged using slf4j, and slf4j is not part of the actual
download.

The URL leads me to download the zip file from -

Is this correct?

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

Cool, I opened this:
Don't include CLASSPATH env var in elasticsearch.bat script · Issue #1287 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub.

Thanks Shay. I removed %CLASSPATH%; from the line -
set ES_CLASSPATH=%ES_HOME%/lib/;%ES_HOME%/lib/sigar/

and it worked.

I think that you have CLASSPATH env var set, which is appended to the
classpath used to start elasticsearch. If you clear it, or remove it from
the following like in the batch file:

set ES_CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%ES_HOME%/lib/;%ES_HOME%/lib/sigar/

Then things should work. I will open an issue to not include the CLASSPATH
in the script, we don't really need it...

Can you edit the elasticsearch.bat file and echo the execution line
(starts with "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java")? See where things are pointing, and
gist it as well.
