Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Ran into this while executing \bin\elasticsearch.bat, anyone encountered the same error??

Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx512M -Xms256M
\Java\jre1.8.0_171\bin\java.exe" -cp "!ES_CLASSPATH!" "org.elasticsearch.tools.launchers.JvmOptionsParser" "!ES_JVM_OPTIONS!" || echo jvm_options_parser_failed"`) was unexpected at this time.

How did you install elasticsearch?

Did you follow this guide? https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/windows.html

How? CLI? GUI?
Which step did not work exactly?

every step worked until when i used
\bin>elasticsearch
to run it and encounter the errors

10

Again, how did you install it?

i downloaded the file from https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-6.3.0.msi and then used the GUI with default values to install. in other words, i followed the guide. what more information you need?

Thanks. This is helpful so we can investigate further.
We will update this when we have more information.

In the meantime you can may be download the zip version and run it manually?

Started working for me after updating the Java version from 1.8.0_161 to 1.8.0_171.
I tried by using zip version of Elasticsearch.
