If there is an issue with the install look if it’s reported here [https://github.com/elastic/windows-installers](https://github.com/elastic/windows-installers) and open an issue if needed. You can also install elasticsearch manually using the zip version. Look at the installation guide. ---

You can’t install site plugins anymore. Just read the head doc: [https://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head/blob/master/README.textile](https://github.com/mobz/elasticsearch-head/blob/master/README.textile) Or start Kibana. ---
