Thanks for your response!

Just now I **got it working** through **installing** elastic and kibana a **second time**.  
What I made different compare to the first installation is

- first I created **a folder**"ELK" and unzipped **both in it**.
- than I used **cmd without(!) admin rights**.

So I got my credentials and token for kibana from elastic and kibana starts as it should, where I add the token and credentials.
