Is script execution disabled in your system? If that's the case you can try to run the script with:

```auto
PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted -File .\install-service-metricbeat.ps1

```

Hi @Diego_Moreno,

Sorry for the confusion, but indeed the output in your first screenshot looks normal, this script just installs the service, and the `Status: Stopped` and `ReturnValue: 0` indicate that it finished correctly.

After the installation you can follow the [next steps of the installation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.3/metricbeat-installation.html) or directly [start the service](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/6.3/metricbeat-starting.html) with `Start-Service metricbeat`.
