Setting up Redmine With the Bitnami stack installer on Windows Server 2003
Solution 1:
I am running into the same issue as you.
If your not using remote desktop this blog post has a fairly eloquent solution.
sc create testsvc binpath= "cmd /K start" type= own type= interact
sc start testsvc
The preceding will apparently kick off a command line as the local system. However this doesn't work over remote desktop (it kicks off the process but the command prompt isn't displayed).
For a more direct approach you can use,
sc create testsvc binpath= "svn info --username [username] --password [password] --non-interactive --trust-server-cert [svnserver]" type= own type= interact
sc start testsvc
Solution 2:
In my case I wasn't accessing an SSL repository, but the problem seemed similar. Reading this post I got the answer:

"The trick was to go to the services panel of windows and to allow the mongrel service to interact with the desktop. (It was running on the local system account )."
