After trying to execute Elasticsearch on Windows 10, I get the following error: \Java\jre1.8.0\_171\bin\java.exe" - cp "!ES\_CLASSPATH!" "org.elasticsearch.tools.launchers.JvmOptionsParser" "!ES\_JVM\_OPTIONS!" || echo jvm\_options\_parser\_failed"') was unexpected at this time. echo %ES\_PATH\_CONF% gets C:\Users\mmcgown\Downloads\elasticsearch-6.3.0\elasticsearch-6.3.0\config echo %ES\_JVM\_OPTIONS% gets ..\config\jvm.options echo %ES\_CLASSPATH% gets C:\Users\mmcgown\Downloads\elasticsearch-6.3.0\elasticsearch-6.3.0\lib\* More so, I saw someone online edited elasticsearch.bat from set "ES\_JVM\_OPTIONS=%ES\_PATH\_CONF%\jvm.options" to set "ES\_JVM\_OPTIONS=..config\jvm.options" to bypass some things and that also didn't work for me. Please help me get this install going. Using the MDI also didn't work but I have less insight to why since it just says running from services and then stops -likely related to the zip method errors I saw above. ---
