Hi, i just download the 8.15.2 version of Kibana and in the directory elasticsearch/bin i don't find the elasticsearch.bat file to launch elastic. Others .bat doesn't launch anything.

Should be there:

- elasticsearch
- elasticsearch.bat

They exist in zip which can be download [here](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-8.15.2-windows-x86_64.zip). You should extract once again.
