please stop pinging people or groups of people directly. If you need SLAs for your answers then thinking about a commercial support subscription makes sense, but this forum at its core is completely driven by volunteers, which should be respected by anyone posting a question.

Alternatively you can open a github issue, as there seems to be an issue with a certain setup that you are facing. Please make sure to include as many information as possible, see [https://www.elastic.co/help](https://www.elastic.co/help)

Before doing that, you might want to check this issue though and it just might be a local permissions issue, that could be checked out here as well, by providing more information [https://github.com/elastic/windows-installers/issues/238](https://github.com/elastic/windows-installers/issues/238)
