Which version of Windows? Is it on a business network that might have
group policy?
Where is the data directory? Could you have tried to put it on a FAT32
or exFAT volume like an external hard drive or USB key?
When did this error arise? Immediately after installation? After you
changed something? Apparently at random?

The data directory path should be quoted, but yours only has the
closing quote. The parameter should look like
-D "S:\ome\path\goes\here"
, so add the opening quote back.
