Something along these lines should work:

set PATH=%ERLPATH%;%PATH%

erlsrv add "MyService" ^
    -internalservicename "MyService" ^
    -sname "MyService@REDACTED" ^
    -stopaction "init:stop()." ^
    -workdir "C:/MyWorkdir" ^
    -args "-pa ebin -run hqcontroller run -extra %DATA%" ^
    -env PATH="%PATH%"

The important bit here is the -workdir option (not sure if you need -sname
or -stopaction for your purposes), telling the service where it'll be
running. Without that, you "-pa ebin" doesn't say much. And you better make
sure your DATA env var is properly formatted/quoted, or you'll end up with
lots of bizarreness.
