Hello again,

Do you get something like this output, if you open command prompt and run the batch file?

```

```

If so do you have an instance of Elasticsearch running? If not, that's likely the problem.

Does this exist?

```
kibana\src\node_modules\request\node_modules\har-validator\node_modules\is-my-json-valid\node_modules\generate-object-property\node_modules\is-property\is-property.js

```

Sounds like it can't find it.
