Install on fresh RetroPi fails to start service #10

I started with a fresh RetroPi v4.5 install on SD card. Using Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and ControlBlock v1.6 board. After booting the system for the first time, (and letting the file system expand, turning on SSH, changing the password, etc.) I ran
wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService/master/install.sh | sudo bash
which looked fine until the second to last line of output:

Scanning dependencies of target installservice
[100%] Installing service.
Making sure that i2c-dev is contained in /etc/modules ...
Making sure that uinput is contained in /etc/modules ...
Making sure that the ARM I2C Interface is enabled via /boot/config.txt ...
[100%] Built target installservice
/home/pi/ControlBlockService
[SUCCESS] The ControlBlock driver binary is installed
[ERROR] The ControlBlock service is not running
You can find the configuration file at /etc/controlblockconfig.cfg.

I'm not sure what's wrong here, or how to proceed with debugging it.

If I reboot, the controlblockservice shows as not started (using the 'service' command), and I can't get it to start.
