Hello @public0, your log file contains errors below. The problem could be due to JAVA_HOME having invalid path to JDK. You could delete the variable and let ES use bundled JRE.

"could not find java in JAVA_HOME at "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_102\bin\bin\java.exe"" 
[0] installing ingest-attachment installing ingest-attachment
System.Exception: Execution failed (H:\ElasticSearch\7.9.1\bin\elasticsearch-plugin.bat install ingest-attachment --batch). ExitCode: 1

@xtcwq, @barran01 - Please open separate tickets and attach MSI and if possible ES log files.

Being a complete beginner in programmation and all that stuff, in the same kind of problem and after wasting a day trying to install elasticsearch, i'm glad to bring here the solution :
Normally you simply have to allow the windows user (your session) to start services, then elasticsearch's service will be able to start after the installation. Follow this tutorial
