Kibana 6.1.0. and newer starts with error

No I download the files and extract to c:\elastic\install\kibana-6.1.1. I never launch anything from that directory.

I use the NSSM utility to run Kibana as a Service.

Once it fails , I have to remove the optimize folder and let it rebuild on a new launch of bin\kibana.bat
