This is telling you that the service that xConnect is trying to install for the Marketing Automation Engine is not starting. This could stem from a number of different causes. However, generally, it could be a result of either permission issues with the service and or folder. The image below shows the services in Windows.

Troubleshooting Steps
- Try to start the service manually from the Windows Services window.
- Check the Windows Event Log. When services fail, it logs a message in the Application Log which is usually helpful enough to understand what's going.
- Ensure that you are using a PowerShell window as An Administrator. The SIF process installs Windows Services, which needs administrator access to the machine.
- Look at the xConnect Marketing Automation Engine logs. See below.
- Enure that Local Service account has full control over the
c:inetpubwwwroot*.xconnectfolder and it's subfolders and files.
Looking at MA Engine Logs
Another step of troubleshooting is to look at the MA Engine logs. It could be the service is throwing an error. Look in c:inetpubwwwroot*.xconnectApp_DatajobscontinuousAutomationEngineApp_Datalogs

Check errors in this log. A properly working engine will have the following log:

Resolving
Once you have identified what the issue is and have resolved it (meaning that you can manually start the windows service without error), try to rerun the Sitecore 9.1 SIF installation script. You may need to uninstall the services that were set up by the previous installation of SIF.
Last Resort
Delete everything and try again. Making sure that you have an Administator Powershell command prompt and that you have the correct version of Sitecore Install Framework installed.
Thank you for your help, I tried to start the three services, two started and "sc910.xconnect-MarketingAutomationService" not, I check the Event Viewer and I get this messages: (System: An exception occurred in the service when handling the control request.) (Application: Faulting application name: maengine.exe, version: 3.0.0.0, time stamp: 0xc338dcf1 Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.17134.407, time stamp: 0x99042cc0 Faulting module path: C:WINDOWSSystem32KERNELBASE.dll)

I would add that to your question. This just seems like a completely failed installation. I would delete everything and try again. Make sure that you are using a PowerShell Window in Administrator mode when running SIF and that you have updated SIF correctly.

Once you have identified what the issue is and have resolved it (meaning that you can manually start the windows service without error), try to rerun the Sitecore 9.1 SIF installation script. You may need to uninstall the services that were set up by the previous installation of SIF.
Last Resort
Delete everything and try again. Making sure that you have an Administator Powershell command prompt and that you have the correct version of Sitecore Install Framework installed.
This is telling you that the service that xConnect is trying to install for the Marketing Automation Engine is not starting. This could stem from a number of different causes. However, generally, it could be a result of either permission issues with the service and or folder. The image below shows the services in Windows.

Troubleshooting Steps
- Try to start the service manually from the Windows Services window.
- Check the Windows Event Log. When services fail, it logs a message in the Application Log which is usually helpful enough to understand what's going.
- Ensure that you are using a PowerShell window as An Administrator. The SIF process installs Windows Services, which needs administrator access to the machine.
- Look at the xConnect Marketing Automation Engine logs. See below.
- Enure that Local Service account has full control over the
c:inetpubwwwroot*.xconnectfolder and it's subfolders and files.
Looking at MA Engine Logs
Another step of troubleshooting is to look at the MA Engine logs. It could be the service is throwing an error. Look in c:inetpubwwwroot*.xconnectApp_DatajobscontinuousAutomationEngineApp_Datalogs

Check errors in this log. A properly working engine will have the following log:

Thank you for your help, I tried to start the three services, two started and "sc910.xconnect-MarketingAutomationService" not, I check the Event Viewer and I get this messages: (System: An exception occurred in the service when handling the control request.) (Application: Faulting application name: maengine.exe, version: 3.0.0.0, time stamp: 0xc338dcf1 Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.17134.407, time stamp: 0x99042cc0 Faulting module path: C:WINDOWSSystem32KERNELBASE.dll)

I check the log and if found this: 2018-12-02 21:26:57.724 +00:00 [Error] Failed to start the Marketing Automation Engine service.

I would add that to your question. This just seems like a completely failed installation. I would delete everything and try again. Make sure that you are using a PowerShell Window in Administrator mode when running SIF and that you have updated SIF correctly.
