Description

### Jenkins and plugins versions report

Environment


```text
Paste the output here
```

### What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?

WINDOWS 10

### Reproduction steps

- local user's password with a comma
- start the installation
- Enter the credentials : test passed
- press on continue button

### Expected Results

- the jenkins service should be started
- the installation should continue

### Actual Results

- error message and the installation process can't continue
- you get an error message when the service is start manually from the windows service manager.

### Anything else?

The installation fails on WINDOWS if the local user's password contains a comma (this is my case).

The test credantials function works but the service does not start and the installation procedure cannot continue.

The user's password must be retyped in the Jenkins service settings for the service to start.

I already saw the problem in previous release.

Research direction

Begin with the reported Windows 10 reproduction: use a local account whose password contains a comma, run the installation, and verify the credentials step and subsequent service startup. Check the Windows service manager when startup fails. Done means the Jenkins service starts and the installation continues without re-entering the password.
