Hi @baiden ,

some check:

have you administrative grants to install a new software on your system?

have you an active anti-virus on your system?

have you enough space in your disk?

See in $SPLUNK_HOME\var\log\splunk\first_install.log if there's some message

Ciao.

Hi @baiden ,

$SPLUNK_HOME is the folder where Splunk is installed (or in installation), on Windows, by default, usually is "C:\Program Files\splunk".

Ciao.
