Looks like the user that you're running Elasticsearch as doesn't have access to write to this location. You could change the user it's running as to one that does or change the Elasticsearch data directory.

I do not understand. i just installed Elasticsearch with the same user. And I had unziped the folder in Download directory.

Maybe you did an administrator install and now you're running as not an administrator?

Yes, I was making that mistake. It worked now.

Thanks.
