Diagnosis

The issue occurred because the install command was run without using the Administrator Privilege. To resolve the issue, you'll need to start the command prompt as an administrator.

Solution: Start a command prompt as an administrator

To start a command prompt as an administrator:

1. Click Start >All Programs, then click Accessories.

2. Right-click Command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

3. Run the events-service install command. The installation will then succeed.
