It appears that if you install ES via MSI, you don't get the elasticsearch-service.bat or elasticsearch-service-mgr.exe that you would if you installed via .zip file. Is there any other management GUI that can be used to view or change configuration settings if you use the MSI install method or do you just have to review and edit the config files manually and then restart the service?
