That's not enough. Even "administrator" don't have full rights by default.
You have to run this command from elevated prompt.
Be aware though,  that I've encountered an issue with Win8, where ANY service 
I install that is not standard, turn into "manual start" and no longer run 
until someone log in to the system.
