Solution 1

you need to be running the install as Administrator - you can do this for a command prompt by right clicking it on the menu and selecting 'Run As Administrator'

Solution 2

Installing a service requires you to issue your command in elevated mode, if UAC is activated.

In the process you describe, replace "Opened command prompt" with "Right-click on command prompt icon, and click Run as administrator".
