You need to mark sure to run the Workflow Manager with a domain account.

A blog ("Farm Creation" section) lists this similar issue for your reference: Fun With Installing Service Bus for Windows

Also there is a TechNet blog which lists tips for Successful Installation of Workflow Manager, you can have a look at it.

I have had the same issue when configuring SharePoint Workflow manager. I added the workflow service account to the local administrators group, also I used Builtin\Administrators in "Workflow Admin Group" field, the problem solved.
