The service process could not connect to the service controller

[psteffensen]

I have compiled and get the three exe files. Then I run VBoxVmService.exe and nothing happens. The log file says:
11/10/2021, 14:17:30 - c:\users\signum\documents\repos\vboxvmservice\build_x64\release\vboxvmservice.exe 11/10/2021, 14:17:30 - c:\users\signum\documents\repos\vboxvmservice\build_x64\release\VBoxVmService.ini 11/10/2021, 14:17:30 - c:\users\signum\documents\repos\vboxvmservice\build_x64\release\VBoxVmService.log 11/10/2021, 14:17:30 - VBoxVmService started. 11/10/2021, 14:17:30 - StartServiceCtrlDispatcher failed: The service process could not connect to the service controller.

I use Win10 and have installed both vcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_x64.exe and restarted the computer. Maybe I am not able to access the "services" on this machine?

By the way, after compilation it says this in the end:
