I recently downloaded ELK and x-pack version 6.2.3  
When I tried to install the x-pack plugin for Elasticsearch, there was no error.  
But when I tried the same for Kibana, I'm getting following error.

Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "EPERM: operation not permitted, rename 'C:\ELK\ELK623\kibana-6.2.3-windows-x86\_64\plugins.plugin.installing' -\> 'C:\ELK\ELK623\kibana-6.2.3-windows-x86\_64\plugins\x-pack'"  
There was no problem with the 6.1.0 version.

OS - Windows 10

This is happening because of your AntiVirus. It looks like it has a rule that disallows the following file format :`plugins.plugin.installing`  
You would need to temporarily disable your AntiVirus software or get assistance from your AntiVirus vendor on how to create custom rules to allow this file pattern so that the installation can continue.
