Can you please check that the default.ini and default-logger.ini files 
are also in that folder? They can be found in the 
$(project_root)/configurations folder.
These files are now required if you build it from the master branch.

Once you have those two files in the target location, please try to 
start the service again.

I am not sure what the Event ID 10 means, it's maybe just that the 
process stopped unexpectedly.
Please also be sure that run OvirtGuestService.exe -install from the 
location where you keep the binary, otherwise the path to the service 
executable will be the wrong location.
