Not able to install Open Distro for Elasticsearch on windows

I have downloaded a zip file for Open Distro for Elasticsearch. After unzipping the file, run the following command to start the server:

.\bin\elasticsearch.bat

Getting the following error:

Please help to resolve the issue and up & running the server.

No one else to help to solve this issue from Open Distro team?

I also met the same problem. How can I solve it?

Hi @Rahul_Chougule,
Sorry for delayed response. We tried installing ODFE v1.4.0 and v1.9.0 on Windows 2019 server and no issues were faced.
Can you give us more information regarding your attempts to install ODFE?

  1. What version of ODFE are you trying to install?
  2. Which windows platform are you using?
  3. Steps to reproduce the issue

Thanks!
