After unzipping the elasticsearch-8.7.0-windows-x86\_64.zip when I click on elasticsearch.bat of bin folder, It automatically closes without full installation. One solution I tried was ` xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true` added in /config/elasticsearch.yml  
but also gave same error in log file. What should I do ? Please fix my issue of installation...

Welcome to our community! 😃

It'd be useful if you could share your full Elasticsearch log and config.
