Elasticsearch service can not install in windows, When I run blow command: `.\elasticsearch-service.bat install` This output displayed in the command prompt: ``` C:\Users\Kiarash\Desktop\elasticsearch\bin>.\elasticsearch-service.bat install Installing service : "elasticsearch-service-x64" Using JAVA_HOME (64-bit): "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121" 'findstr /b \- "C:\Users\Kiarash\Desktop\elasticsearch\config\jvm.options" | findstr /b /v "\-server \-client"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. The syntax of the command is incorrect. ``` What is problem? ---

I think that `findstr` is not in your path. Please check your path and add `C:\windows\system32` to your path if it's missing. ---

@jasontedor No, `findstr` is in my path. The problem is elsewhere. ---

@jasontedor I tested `findstr` and that works fine, I do not know what the problem is. ---

Try the following: In the Elasticsearch-service properties (_.\elasticsearch-service.bat manager_), under the Java tab, untick "use Default". stop/start service. ---
