Failed to start the ElasticSearch service. Cannot find JVM

I have a new Windows Server 2012 and you have installed the ElasticSearch service install with service install . When I try to start it, although it does not start (Exit code 1).

Looking at the logs, he cannot find the path to the JVM:

 [2016-05-25 19:10:22] [info] [ 1964] Commons Daemon procrun (1.0.15.0 64-bit) started [2016-05-25 19:10:22] [info] [ 1964] Starting service 'elasticsearch-service-x64' ...

However, the JAVA_HOME variable is configured correctly:

 C:\elasticsearch-2.3.3\elasticsearch-2.3.3\bin>dir "%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin\server\" Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is 6F6F-14E6 Directory of C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_92\jre\bin\server 05/25/2016 06:22 PM <DIR> . 05/25/2016 06:22 PM <DIR> .. 05/25/2016 06:22 PM 19,136,512 classes.jsa 05/25/2016 06:21 PM 8,775,712 jvm.dll 05/25/2016 06:21 PM 1,423 Xusage.txt 3 File(s) 27,913,647 bytes 2 Dir(s) 121,919,512,576 bytes free 

I start the console as admin.

Any suggestions?

Just found a solution. I moved the JAVA_HOME variable from user variables to system variables.

Now the service is running.
