I had the same issue, forget about MSI it is still in beta, download the zip file:

[https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.5.1-windows-x86\_64.zip](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.5.1-windows-x86_64.zip)

unzip and execute:

bin\elasticsearch.bat

Works for me!
