I've followed the instructions for upgrading to 2.0 (from 1.3.9) via a full cluster restart (per these instructions: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.0/restart-upgrade.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.0/restart-upgrade.html))

- but I'm having trouble finding the elasticsearch.exe for version 2.0

How do I start elasticsearch after upgrading to version 2.0?

There's no .exe. Probably a .bat.
