Setting up PDF Creator as a service on windows 2012 64bit

I am having issues setting up PDF creator.  I'm using version 1.7.3 as that is the newest version with a server install.  I can get everything to run perfectly when pdf creator is run as a application, but when creating a service it will not run.  I've even used the following advice to run with another program

But that seems to not work on Server 2012.  Has anyone successfully gotten this program to work as a service on 2012?
