Do you have any special characters (or accented characters) in any of the fields when creating the service application? – John Chapman Mar 11 at 13:55
no, only letters – Jürgen Stürmer Mar 11 at 13:59
does anyone already have a solution for this ? – Jürgen Stürmer Apr 25 at 13:50

You will need to add the Search Service Managed Account to the WSS_ADMIN_WPG Group.

Thanks for the reply but I still have the same error :( – Jürgen Stürmer Mar 12 at 11:53
Have you tried restarting the machine or an iisreset after the above action? – Vardhaman Deshpande Mar 12 at 12:10
yes - now i did but it is still not working... I made a new Account called sp_searchservice, added this acc to the farm administrators via CA after that, I followed your link and used the power shell commands. Tried to reinstall the service but the error still occurs. – Jürgen Stürmer Mar 12 at 12:18
