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

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 this time."


Solved:



By editing line 46 of the 'bat' file



'%JAVA%' ==> '!JAVA!'

I also encountered the same issue while running the batch file "elasticsearch.bat" in windows 10.
I set JAVA_HOME using below command and it worked for me.



set "JAVA_HOME=C:Program FilesJavayour_jdk_version"

    I think it depends on your version. Had the error stated by the author and now I have could not find java; set JAVA_HOME or ensure java is in PATH after running this command

I placed SET "JAVA_HOME=C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_191" just under SET params='%*' inside "binelasticsearch.bat" and that made it work



@echo off

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
setlocal enableextensions

SET params='%*'
SET "JAVA_HOME=C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_191"

    I solved this by editing my Environment Variables - System variables - variable named CLASSPATH. The variable contained



    ;C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesEMCExJNIAPIGateway.jar



    I quoted this



    ;"C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesEMCExJNIAPIGateway.jar"



    Everything ran smoothly afterwards. I don't really know what corporate software that jar file relates to, but I'm not bothered if it stops working on my PC.
