Please, before changing the user to run the service, make sure the selected user has permissions on the folders where you have installed CloudBees CD, by default:
-
Install Directory:
C:\Program Files\Electric Cloud\ElectricCommander
-
Data Directory:
C:\ProgramData\Electric Cloud\ElectricCommander
