OK, some progress but still not there yet.

After consulting the docs (as usual, not really directed at Windoze users), I did this:

```auto
>set ES_PATH_CONF=D:/apps/ElasticSearch/elasticsearch-8.6.2/config
>elasticsearch.bat

```

... a torrent of output ensued, but it looked like configuring was happening.

When I attempted to browse to localhost:9500, however, I got this output in the console:

```auto

```

... and in the browser page I get a page with an error message: "Connection was reset". No "you know, for search" or other connection details output...

However, I do see that one of the last log messages in the console screen before I tried to get to "localhost:9500" was this:

`[2023-03-05T09:01:30,685][INFO][o.e.c.r.a.AllocationService] [node862-1] current.health="GREEN" message="Cluster health status changed from [RED] to [GREEN] (reason: [shards started [[.geoip_databases][0], [.security-7][0]]])." previous.health="RED" reason="shards started [[.geoip_databases][0], [.security-7][0]]"`

which looks hopeful. Seem to be close.

... any diagnosis, suggestions??

**later: This is the right answer!**... but then (if using a non-standard port at least) there are security issues which follow. See solution [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/struggling-to-get-es-8-6-2-to-work-on-w10/326998/2).
