I'm trying to install x-pack offline for v.5.6.8 and ran into the following error
```auto

```
Should the installation process be completely offline? I don't think it has anything to do with the file path syntax, which I also notice that it behaves differently for ES/Kibana/Logstash offline plugin installation.
For instance, using `file:///` doesn't work as suggested in [Offline install x-pack on windows fails v5.3.0](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/offline-install-x-pack-on-windows-fails-v5-3-0/80722/2)
```auto

It should definitely be fully offline, I did it once a few months back...unfortunately, I don't recall how exactly. From experience with other parts of the Elastic Stack, have you tried omitting the drive letter? `file:///ELK/x-pack-5.6.8.zip`. Also, have you tried the deprecated method mentioned in [the 5.6 documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.6/offline-plugins.html#_install_or_update_a_local_plugin_deprecated_procedure)

```
I don't think file path is the issue here as you can see that the error message is different.

Do you mean trying the `--local` option? If yes then I have tried that and still failed. Worst case I'll just install logstash on an internet connected computer and ship it to the server.

This command works now on the same server. I have no idea why it didn't work before. This server doesn't have internet access.
