Path.conf is no longer a configurable setting - Installed X Pack

[es_robot]

Hey

I've installed X-Pack 5.6 on Elasticsearch & Kibana. Upon running Upgrade Assistant I've experienced an error and unable to proceed.

The Error I'm getting is below. The Documentation doesn't provide any help either.

Error

path.conf is no longer a configurable setting
This issue must be resolved to upgrade. Read Documentation

This is a Windows 10 Environment.

The config file elasticsearch.yml looks like below:

bootstrap.memory_lock: false
cluster.name: ES_Unit
http.port: 9200
node.data: true
node.ingest: true
node.master: true
node.max_local_storage_nodes: 1
node.name: NodeUnit1
path.data: D:\ProgramData\Elastic\Elasticsearch\Elasticsearch_5_6_0_a\data
path.logs: D:\ProgramData\Elastic\Elasticsearch\Elasticsearch_5_6_0_a\logs
transport.tcp.port: 9300

Please assist.
Thank You

How are you starting Elasticsearch? Are you passing any additional configuration at launch?

Hello Ryan,
Thank you for your looking into this.
The Elasticsearch service is running as a windows service. Please find attached screenshot.
