Using v1.0.69 installer to install for the first time on a machine.

Install SEQ Forwarder to "C:\Program Files\Seq Forwarder\" Leave the option for "Install or start the SEQ Forwarder service on exit" checked. Leave the Storage Path as "C:\ProgramData\Seq\Forwarder". Enter a server URL and leave API key blank.

"There was a problem configuring the service; please refer to the output above"

The transacted install has completed. Service installed successfully. Starting Seq Forwarder... Waiting up to 15 seconds for the service to start (currently: Stopped)... Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed.

Now for my workaround. I manually create a folder "C:\ProgramData\Seq\Forwarder\Buffer" and then start the service (successfully).

I was able to reproduce this issue on at least 10 different machines.

Thanks for the report @mason-mcglothlin - shows a bit of a weakness in my testing strategy :-/

I've committed the fix; there should be a release out shortly.
