The account is a member of the local administrators group, though not the
account "Administrator".

 

[Dave Patrick]

Thanks for offering that but it tells us nothing. You might try resetting
default NTFS permissions.

I figured it out. I had installed the service from a network location. It
defaults to run under the localsystem account which does not have access to
that location.

I moved uphclean to a local folder and all worked.

Yes, always install locally these types.
