Unable to execute Kibana.bat on Windows 10

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

After downloading and unzipping the zipped Kibana (6.6.0) file from elastic's website, I'm unable to execute the Kibana.bat file via command line. It produces these errors:

./kibana.bat: line 1: @echo: command not found
./kibana.bat: line 3: SETLOCAL: command not found
./kibana.bat: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./kibana.bat: line 6: `for %%I in ("%SCRIPT_DIR%..") do set DIR=%%~dpfI'

I tried searching the web, but was unsuccessful in finding a hint. Has anyone experienced this before?

Are you using Command Prompt or PowerShell?
Are you executing it from the root bin\kibana.bat?

I ran ./bin/kibana.bat via the Command Prompt which produced the errors that I've noted in my earlier post.

I tried via PowerShell (Administrative) and it now works. This was the same for Elasticsearch.

P.S. @tylersmalley Thank you for your response.
