Winlogbeat.exe - Failed: 32bit on 64bit system

Hello,
I downloaded winlogbeat-7.15.1-windows-x86 and installed it using "uninstall-service-winlogbeat.ps1" according to the documentation. (WindowsServer2019)

  •  PS C:\program files\Winlogbeat> .\install-service-winlogbeat.ps1
    
     Security warning
     Run only scripts ... message. 
     Do you want to run C:\program files\Winlogbeat\install-service-winlogbeat.ps1?
     [D] Do not run  [R] Run once  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "D"): r
    
     Status   Name               DisplayName
     ------   ----               -----------
     Stopped  winlogbeat         winlogbeat
    
    

The service cannot be started:

  •   PS C:\program files\Winlogbeat> start-service winlogbeat
      start-service : The service 'winlogbeat (winlogbeat)' cannot be started due to the following error: Service cannot be started
      winlogbeat on computer '.' fails to start.
      In line:1 character:1
      + start-service winlogbeat
          + CategoryInfo : OpenError: (System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController:ServiceController) [Start-Service],
     ServiceCommandException
          + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotStartService,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartServiceCommand
    
  • When I start the service via services.msc, I get the following error:

  •  Error 1053 - "The service did not respond to the startup or control request in time."
     SSL is not used.
    
  • And when running the ".\winlogbeat.exe test config -c .\winlogbeat.yml -e", the message comes:

  •  PS C:\program files\Winlogbeat> .\winlogbeat.exe test config -c .\winlogbeat.yml -e
     Initialization failed: Attempting to run 32bit binary on 64bit system.
    
    

What did I do wrong here.

Regards.

Looks like you download the 32-bit binary. The file name for 64-bit is winlogbeat-7.15.1-windows-x86_64.zip.

It was the browser. Here you could choose the platform, but that did not change the download file.

With a current browser the download worked correctly.

Thank you.
