Pleas run binary directly from command line and it will log the reason of failure

Here is how Zabbix agent should be installed on Windows.
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.4/manual/appendix/install/windows_agent#installing_agent_as_windows_service

Make sure you run CMD with administrator privileges.

Malintha, Zabbix agent misconfiguration is the possible root cause. For example, you will see this error if you will comment out Server parameter in zabbix_agentd.conf. Would you mind checking this parameter? Uncomment it and try to start the agent.

It would be great to update Zabbix documentation (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.4/manual/appendix/config/zabbix_agentd_win) and replace

Parameter Mandatory
Server no

with

Parameter Mandatory
Server yes, if StartAgents is not 0, otherwise no

martins-v Done.
