Please don't post images of text as they are hardly readable and not searchable.

Instead paste the text and format it with `</>` icon. Check the preview window.

Sounds like here some missing rights to the log dir.  
May be you did not install it as a super user?

I'm not anymore a Windows user so I can't help. Just make sure at least that you are exactly following the steps: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/windows.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/windows.html)

If one step is failing, please describe which one it was and what is the exact error.
