Neo4j failed to start on Windows 7

Neo4j was working fine but today it failed to start. I tried to uninstall it and install it again and this is the error message that I got:

> bin\neo4j.bat install-service -verbose
VERBOSE: Neo4j Root is 'C:\Users\UserB\Documents\neo4j-community-3.1.4'
VERBOSE: Neo4j Server Type is 'Community'

+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException

I found that it might be because of a syntax error in Merge-Neo4jJavaSettings.ps1 as it is explained here. But I don't have the same code in that file so I couldn't fix the problem.

The warning line says you should run it with admin rights. open the folder in explorer, then as I wrote, there is a combination with right click to get a contextual menu that proposes to open an admin shell.
