Hello all,

I'm fresh out the womb with Splunk... so please bear with me. 

I am attempting to install Splunk Enterprise 9.4.0 to do some Splunk training on Coursera, and come across an error. I just got over not being able to find SplunkD.exe in the .bin folder by creating an exception in my antivirus. Now, I cannot seem to get past the next error (below). I searched the Splunk site and Googled it, to no avail. Please help, I have a pending job interview and want to talk somewhat intelligently about Splunk. 

Any help will be greatly appreciated. 

New guy!

I presume you are trying to install Splunk Enterprise on a Windows machine? Have you considered setting up a WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) virtual machine and installing Splunk there? This might be easier than wrangling your anti-virus software!
