Environment

• Windows as operating system

Steps to Reproduce

1. Browse to the <Bitbucket installation directory>\elasticsearch\bin folder
2. Run the service.bat install command

Expected Results

Actual Results

The Elasticsearch service is not installed, the following message is presented:

The system cannot find the file specified.

Notes

For the issue related to the incorrect user when the Windows Service is installed using the installer, please refer to: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BSERV-8804

Workaround

Remove the --ServiceUser <SERVICE_USER> --ServicePassword <SERVICE_PASSWORD> string from the line 166 in the service.bat file, and run the service.bat install command again.
This is how the line 166 in the service.bat file should look like:
