Updated documentation for the Windows Installer 6.0 release:

  • new images
  • additional information relating to the new X-Pack screen and license options

@Mpdreamz would you mind specifically double-checking the instructions with regards to INSTALLDIR from the command line?

Awesome! Left a small comment around INSTALLDIR

The **exception** to this is `INSTALLDIR` (if originally specified), which must be a different directory to the
current installation.
If setting `INSTALLDIR`, we recommend that the final directory in the path be the version of Elasticsearch e.g.
++C:\Program Files\Elastic\Elasticsearch\{version}++

Not just recommended but currently we have to mandate the installer ends in the version when running the silent install otherwiae the install will fail. THE UI can cope with this though.

I think the installer should only mandate that the directory for the upgrade version is different to the existing version, and not a child directory of the existing version.

I updated the description for INSTALLDIR when upgrading. Also highlighted that the INSTALLDIR path final directory must be the version number.
