+     MKBEATINSTALLER(8)                             MKBEATINSTALLER(8)
+
+     NAME
+          mkbeatinstaller, mkfilebeatinstaller, mkwinlogbeatinstaller
+          - make elastic beat Windows installers
+
+     SYNOPSIS
+          mkbeatinstaller beat ...
+          mkfilebeatinstaller
+          mkwinlogbeatinstaller
+
+     DESCRIPTION
+          mkfilebeatinstaller and mkwinlogbeat installer are two NSIS
+          scripts which create executable installers for the elastic
+          beat programs
+          and winlogbeat in the familiar Windows "Next, Next, Done"
+          install wizard style.  Execution of the scripts requires the
+          makensis(1) command, generally available from the nsis pack-
+          age on Linux distributions.
+
+          The scripts package the beat configuration files, the exe-
+          cutable command and license files. On installation, the
+          files are copied to the Program Files directory. A standard
+          windows service is registered which starts the beat's exe
+          file. uninstall.exe removes the installation directory and
+          removes the service from the windows service registry.
+
+          mkbeatinstaller will download the compiled Windows distribu-
+          tion of beat from Elastic, then run the matching beat
+          installer generation script.
+
+     EXAMPLE
+          Make installers for filebeat and winlogbeat:
+          mkbeatinstaller filebeat winlogbeat
+
+     FILES
+          C:/Program Files/$beat installation directory
+          C:/Program Files/$beat/uninstall.exe uninstallation program
