Unable to install DeadlineClient as launcherservice

Hello! I am unable to install DeadlineClient as a service on a Windows 11 PC.

I set up a new service account in our Active Directory with local admin permissions.

When getting to the launcher service part of the installation I enter the username: username@domain.local and the password.

The user is being found and the install continues. However, then I receive this error message:

“Error creating service deadline10launcherservice”

and a bit later:

here the part in the installbuilder_installer log file:

Creating Launcher service
Setting variable launcherservice_sd from sc sdshow deadline10launcherservice

Script output:
[SC] OpenService FAILED: 1060

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

appreciate any hints!!
