Answer 1

One of the causes for this error is insufficient permissions (Authenticated Users) in your local folder. To give permission for 'Authenticated Users' Open the security tab in properties of your folder, Edit and Add 'Authenticated Users' group and Apply changes.

Once this was done I was able to run services even through network service account (before this I was only able to run with Local system account).
