I am having the same issue with ES and Kibana 6.2.3. Also running Windows 10. Elasticsearch installed fine, and setting up x-pack with transport security went fine as well. Also setup the default elastic,kibana,logstash users with passwords as well. Kibana installed fine, and x-pack installed there as well. Could this be an issue with Windows 10 and v6? Has any one tried down grading to v5? ---

@AlphaJosh the linked Windows installer issue #166 is not related; would you mind editing the question and removing it, as I think it conflates and confuses the issue. I just installed both Elasticsearch and Kibana 6.2.3 with X-Pack plugin to see if I could replicate the issue, however I was unable to: ![50](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/7/07bc9d2b1c690d576c55ecf5338f1201cb7a3e5a.png) I'm using an installation PowerShell script for this, which you're also more than welcome to try > You can run it with ```auto . { iwr -useb https://gist.githubusercontent.com/russcam/ee5293c7ae5bf1fa22de13cbbd2d28c4/raw/90d8f4f78ae4be1b1fab8796bcb782607d8f60d0/ElasticStack.ps1 } | iex; Install-ElasticStack -Product Elasticsearch,Kibana -Version 6.2.3 -Destination C:\elasticsearch ``` and follow the bootstrap/user password prompts that appear. **Note:** multi-tabbed console emulators such as [Cmder](http://cmder.net/) _may_ not wait for processes started with `Start-Process -Wait` that spawn new windows with PowerShell to finish, so it's best to run it from a PowerShell terminal, which will.

Encountering the same issue. Found two other discussions on the topic that seem to have stalled: > [@Kibana 6.1.0. and newer starts with error](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-6-1-0-and-newer-starts-with-error/111754): > > I've upgrade ES 6.0.0 to 6.1.0.

For consistency, we are talking about installing/running on Windows. 2. It seems that in each case "installation" of kibana was actually just download and extract the zip file 3. Probably most importantly, we are missing the current directory from which the kibana was executed (the first time, and each subsequent time). For me, the process was as follows: 1. Download and extract kibana 6.2.3 zip file to a safe location (no spaces in path) 2. Change directory to `bin` folder 3. Run `kibana.bat` 4. Kibana launches, works fine 5. Later, shut down kibana 6. Still in `bin` folder, run `kibana-plugin install x-pack` 7. After installation and config complete, run kibana again with `kibana.bat` 8. Got the error mentioned in the OP, but, I almost immediately realized my error of executing `kibana-plugin` from the bin folder (a `x-pack` folder was created inside bin!) 9. So I did a `kibana-plugin remove x-pack`. Folders got cleaned up. 10. Change directory to kibana root, remove `optimize` folder 11. Run `bin\kibana.bat` 12. From this point forward, no combination of workarounds suggested in the other two discussions help; I always get the "Uncaught TypeError". I really suspect the key to reproducing the problem has to do with using the windows command prompt shell, and the path from which kibana is executed for the very first time. ---

Hi This has been a known issue on Windows since version 6.1.x. Elastic has apparently not been able to reproduce the error or document what they changed in Kibana 6.1.0. I have published a workaround that has worked for me on every version from 6.1.0 to currently 6.2.3. It has to do with how you run kibana bat and from directory you start it as you write yourself. make sure Kibana is stopped Start a fresh prompt in admin mode. cd to your kibana root directory rd optimize /s /q bin\kibana wait for it to launch whether x-pack is installed or not doesnt matter. I follow same steps every time. This works consistently for me on all my clusters. I have 6 clusters currently. I cannot speak for your particular environment ofc. Best of luck Kim ---

Hey Kim, thanks for your contributions to this discussion so far. In fact, I've been carefully following the steps of your work around, but so far I haven't had success (part of the reason for my post). I plan on starting over with a fresh "install" shortly, and will follow your procedure. I'll post an update. Thanks again! ---

SUCCESS!!!! The powershell script worked!

Though I got an error (which would have been related to my computer: "The term 'Install-ElasticStack' is not recognized" So I downloaded the script [https://gist.githubusercontent.com/russcam/ee5293c7ae5bf1fa22de13cbbd2d28c4/raw/90d8f4f78ae4be1b1fab8796bcb782607d8f60d0/ElasticStack.ps1](https://gist.githubusercontent.com/russcam/ee5293c7ae5bf1fa22de13cbbd2d28c4/raw/90d8f4f78ae4be1b1fab8796bcb782607d8f60d0/ElasticStack.ps1) In powershell I changed to the folder and then ran `.\ElasticStack.ps1` - This loads the install module. Then I ran the actual install: Install-ElasticStack -Product Elasticsearch,Kibana -Version 6.2.3 -Destination C:\elk I had a and followed the prompt for new passwords. I did notice there was prompt about password for a keystore that I hadnt seen before: `bootstrap.password does not exist in keystore`. At the end I could log onto Kibana with the credentials: Username: kibana Password: kibana Thank you, that script NEEDS to be on the offical doco, it would have saved me hours and hours of frustration.

Still no success using your workaround. I don't doubt that it works (probably for most), I'm more inclined to think that something is wrong/off about my environment. I am prototyping an elasticstack setup to demonstrate how the ingestion process works, and how Kibana can be used to view the data, and I'm doing all of this on my dev workstation (Windows). It seems that the OP is happy with the custom installation powershell script provided by @forloop, but I'm not ready to use an unofficial install-aid from here or elsewhere. So for now, I'll have to do without x-pack. ---
