Sorry but i need help for the installation of the Gateway.

I have try to install the "On-Premises Data gateway" on my server, and i have allway the same issue, the setup failed with a logon failure (see the error message below).

Of course i'm local admin of the server and my account is 

 memeber of the Policy "Log on as a service"

My server is a Windows 2012 R1
