Read [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and specifically the "Also be patient" part. It's fine to answer on your own thread after 2 or 3 days (not including weekends) if you don't have an answer. ---

@ikakavas Does this ring a bell to you? Just saw your comment here ([https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/39413#issuecomment-467787582](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/39413#issuecomment-467787582)) and although this does seem to be directly related I wonder if we have another connected issue. ---

[y/N]y > Exception in thread "main" java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: C:\ProgramData\Elastic\Elasticsearch\config\elasticsearch.keystore.tmp -\> C:\ProgramData\Elastic\Elasticsearch\config\elasticsearch.keystore The error here is that the user that ran the `elasticsearch-keystore` command doesn't have the necessary permissions to overwrite the existing `elasticsearch.keystore` file during our attempt to overwrite the file. Which might make sense since the file is located in `C:\ProgramData\Elastic\Elasticsearch\config\elasticsearch.keystore` This seems to imply that the keystore was already created despite the error message shown in the original post. @MKU can you please delete the folder and download the latest version again and try to run `./gradlew run`?

I agree but the @MKU said that he ran `gradlew clean`. That should clean any existing keystore right? ---
**Author:** ![ikakavas](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/user_avatar/discuss.elastic.co/ikakavas/32/34430_2.png) [@ikakavas](https://discuss.elastic.co/u/ikakavas)\ **Post date:** [February 27, 2019, 11:40am UTC](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/errors-while-running-the-elasticsearch-instance-using-gradlew-run/168716/17 "2019-02-27T11:40:36Z")
I guess that if they run `gradlew clean` with the same user that runs `gradlew run` then the user would not have the permissions to remove the existing keystore. The original error > [@MKU](#): > > Task :distribution:run#createKeystore FAILED > Standard output: > > Standard error: > Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: unable to read from standard input; is standard input open and a tty attached? > at org.elasticsearch.cli.Terminal$SystemTerminal.readText(Terminal.java:173) > at org.elasticsearch.cli.Terminal.promptYesNo(Terminal.java:106) implies that the keystore was already there when this `gradle run` ran, as it fails when it tries to offer a prompt to the user telling them that the keystore already exists and they can overwrite it if they want to. An interesting question is why does the user get > In C:\Users\Mohan Kumar U\Desktop\elasticsearch-master\distribution\build\cluster\run node0\elasticsearch-8.0.0-SNAPSHOT\bin` dir, I got thisAn elasticsearch keystore already exists. Overwrite? [y/N]y > Exception in thread "main" java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: C:\ProgramData\Elastic\Elasticsearch\config\elasticsearch.keystore.tmp -\> C:\ProgramData\Elastic\Elasticsearch\config\elasticsearch.keystore which seems to imply that `$ES_CONFIG` env variable exists and points to `C:\ProgramData\Elastic\Elasticsearch\config\` and is picked up by `./gradlew run` @MKU is Elasticsearch already installed in this windows machine ? If so how did you install it? ---
