I downloaded the zip file from: [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana) When running .\bin\kibana.bat I received the following error: node.exe: src\node\_file.cc:578: Assertion '\ \>= \<0\>' failed I also placed the node.exe that is within the kibana directory into my PATH already I hope that someone can point me in the right direction! ---

Hi LaonWeis, It's working for me on Windows 10 (64-bit) and should work the same on Windows 7. 1. Is your Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit? It should work on either but I could try to check the exact same. 2. Is this the file you downloaded? [https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-6.2.3-windows-x86\_64.zip](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-6.2.3-windows-x86_64.zip) 3. Did you extract the whole zip file and then start from that extracted folder? You can't run it from inside the zip file 4. You shouldn't have to do anything with the node.exe in Kibana. It doesn't need to be in your path. Here's what I see when I start it; ```auto D:\windowsInstalls\kibana-6.2.3-windows-x86_64\kibana-6.2.3-windows-x86_64>.\bin\kibana.bat log [14:18:18.543] [info][status][plugin:kibana@6.2.3] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready log [14:18:18.598] [info][status][plugin:elasticsearch@6.2.3] Status changed from uninitialized to yellow - Waiting for Elasticsearch log [14:18:18.769] [info][status][plugin:timelion@6.2.3] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready log [14:18:18.780] [info][status][plugin:console@6.2.3] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready log [14:18:18.786] [info][status][plugin:metrics@6.2.3] Status changed from uninitialized to green - Ready log [14:18:18.813] [info][listening] Server running at http://localhost:5601 ``` If you're still getting the error you might want to try changing the first line of kibana.bat from `@echo off` to `@echo on` and run it again and paste that output here. Thanks, Lee ---

Hi LeeDr, I went through your questions and: 1. It is Windows 7 64 bit 2. Yes I downloaded this file 3. I extracted whole zip file using 7-zip, and started from the extracted folder 4. I removed the path to node.exe in Kibana Here is the output when I changed @echo off to @echo on: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/a/ba90fbf028d25da1a19783dd5a14ea294d913752.png) ---

Can you tells us what kind of computer this is and maybe paste a screenshot of the system information with CPU type like this; ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/3/d32d4c5426341398c3ee3eb8ebb7155ceeb2e04f.png) Thanks, Lee ---
