Answer

You need to run it from an admin prompt. Also, running it multiple times will give you an error. So, re-install it (again, from an admin prompt). Only install it once. Only uninstall it once.

Don't uninstall / install over and over again. There's absolutely no reason to do that.

If you want to re-activate a running service and don't want to wait the X + Y days, then simply *stop* the service (don't uninstall it!)

Please explain *stop* the service.  Does TurbofloatServer have a command line argument for that?  It does not appear to, other than -u.

The error number 80070057 occurred with admin privilege.  What does it mean?  I have multiple users reporting this error.

It's built-in to Windows: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/cc742107(v=ws.11)

Likely because it's an invalid installation. Try-reinstalling.
