elasticsearch-msi-installer

A set of scripts (on top of WIX Toolset) to build MSI installer for installing Elasticsearch as a Windows service.

They will fetch Elasticsearch and Oracle Java Server JRE (and WIX Toolset) and creates an MSI installer with an embedded JRE. There are two ways to generate the installer, the easy and the customizable way:

Easy way: Just download/clone the repository and double click DUPC.cmd and if its finished then double click MKMSI.cmd Thats it, find your MSI installer in target\msi

Elasticsearch will be installed into "C:\Program Files\Elasticsearch\content".

Customizable way:

Revise config.cmd (change ES/JAVA/WIX versions and folder names)
Revise esidist_plugininstall.bat (add/remove ES plugins)
Run DUPC.cmd
Revise elasticsearch.yml
Revise logging.yml
Revise JAVA_OPTS and Java memory config (heap size)
