Elasticsearch Service 7.4/7.3 wont start

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Fresh install on Windows Server 2016, Java jre-8u211x64. The install completes perfectly fine, but when i attempt to start the "Elasticsearch" service it looks like it is starting then stops.

Below are the event logs of the service attempting to start:

Application: elasticsearch.exe

Then:

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Would you be able to show what's in the elasticsearch logs, by default at %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Elastic\Elasticsearch\logs\<cluster name>.log, where <cluster name> is the name of the Elasticsearch cluster.

I was able to get the services started, during the MSI install i was putting in the IP address of the server and this was causing the issue. When i left the IP address field blank during the installation the service was able to start.

Thanks,
Mike
