Elastic Search startup error - “\Common was unexpected at this time.”

Question

I have downloaded and extracted elasticsearch and when I run the batch file \"elasticsearch.bat\' I am getting the following error.

\"\\Common was unexpected at         


        

Answer 1

I placed SET "JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_191" just under SET params='%*' inside "bin\elasticsearch.bat" and that made it work

@echo off

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
setlocal enableextensions

SET params='%*'
SET "JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_191"

:loop
