Change the working directory for EikonApiWrapperService

We are migrating to a new network and I am trying to set up the EikonApiWrapperService using a local service account.
I am able to start it, but it's working directory is set to system32 and so it is trying to create a log file which is giving me a permissions error:

I tried updating the EikonApiWrapper.py
ek.set_log_path("C:\WorkspaceApiWrapper_git\dist\logs")
That's also not worked, any ideas?
Thanks!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I checked and found two workarounds.
The first workaround is calling the ek.set_log_path method before the ek.set_log_level. For example:
ek.set_app_key('<app key>') ek.set_log_path("C:\\WorkspaceApiWrapper_git\\dist\\logs") ek.set_log_level(1)
The second workaround is calling the os.chdir method to change the working directory at the beginning.
import os os.chdir("C:\\WorkspaceApiWrapper_git\\dist\\logs")
