Service Crashing on Start

[XxQuaDxX]

Product: PowerShell Studio 2022 (64 Bit)
Build: v5.8.209
OS: Windows Server 2016 Standard (64 Bit)
Build: v10.0.14393.0

I'm having an issue where a Service created by PowerShell studio crashes when I try to start the service. This same script used to work on past versions of PowerShell Studio but since upgrading to 5.2 and now 5.8 the created service won't start. I am compiling the exact same script with the same settings and I get error 1064 "An exception occurred in the service when handling the control request". I switch back to an executable created in previous versions of Sapien PSS and the service starts without an issue.

When I change the service to use the local system account the service starts fine, but when I change it to start with my service account it gives this error. Again, switching back to the old executable and starting with the service account it all works as expected.

I created a net-new service script to just echo to a file and that gives me the same results. Is there something that changed in recent versions of Sapien that makes it so service accounts can't be used easily?

Since you updated from an older build, do you have the service defined functions that are included with the service template in PowerShell Studio? These functions need to be present and cannot be renamed.
An explanation of the functions can be found here:

Thanks @brittneyr

For anyone who gets this in the future ... I got it working by NOT installing the service with an MSI. I copied the complied executable to the directory it should be in and did an 'ExecutableName.exe /i' to install it, modified the "Logon As" manually using Services.msc, and everything works fine now. Service starts no issues.

Not sure why it wouldn't work using the MSI but these are the settings I was using.

Thanks for the update. I have alerted QA to investigate.

To verify from your screenshots. You installed a 64 bit service in the 32 bit Program Files folder? Can you please attach the .psbuild file for further evaluation?
