Hi,

I have upgraded Elasticsearch from 5.2.2 to 6.7.0 version. After upgrading successfully, I am not able to start Elasticsearch on W2008 box. Giving below error.

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "\?\C:\elasticsearch-6.7.0\elasticsearch-6.7.0\modules\x-pack-ml\platform\windows-x86\_64\bin\controller.exe": CreateProcess error=193, %1 is not a valid Win32 application

Why ES 6.7.0 not starting on Windows 2008 and Is it possible to start on 6.7.0 on windows 2008???

Please suggest a workaround if any.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @amol_sonawane1 .

Please check this error i thing windows arch miss match :

```
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "\?\C:\elasticsearch-6.7.0\elasticsearch-6.7.0\modules\x-pack-ml\platform\windows-x86_64\bin\controller.exe": CreateProcess error=193, %1 is not a valid Win32 application  

```

i think you need to check either you are using 64 or 32 application for elastic search.

Thanks

Yes Windows arch is 64 bit.

Assuming Elasticsearch is also 64 bit. Downloaded from [https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-6.7.0.zip](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-6.7.0.zip)

Does ES provides 32 bit version?

Is elasticsearch 6.7 supported in Windows 2008?

I agree.  
The Windows 2008R2 is not mentioned in support matrix but ES 6.7 working well on Windows 2008 R2.
