Winlogbeat Installation using Powershell ISE

Elastic Stack Beats

Hello,

I am following the installation instructions for Winlogbeat here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/winlogbeat/current/winlogbeat-installation.html

However, I am running the code in the install-service-winlogbeat.ps1 file in Powershell ISE. The code\script returns the following error from this line: $workdir = Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path

Split-Path : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Path' because it is null.

Is this due to running the code in ISE or is their a bug in the provided installation script from Elastic?

I've never seen that error when running outside of ISE. So I'd assume it's something with the running it in ISE. My guess is this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2990762/503798

Can you trying installing it without using Powershell ISE.

Yep - that seemed to work. ISE = bad juju. :slight_smile:
