Multiple instances of same windows service on one server

Its possible to host multiple windows service on same server but different name. Here's the link to do it.

Just a small tweak in the code:

        public override void Install(System.Collections.IDictionary stateSaver)
        {
            RetrieveServiceName();
            base.Install(stateSaver);
        }

        public override void Uninstall(System.Collections.IDictionary savedState)
        {
            RetrieveServiceName();
            base.Uninstall(savedState);
        }

        private void RetrieveServiceName()
        {
            var serviceName = Context.Parameters["servicename"];
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(serviceName))
            {
                this._serviceInstaller.ServiceName = serviceName;
                this._serviceInstaller.DisplayName = serviceName;
            }
        }

We can now use this like this:

installutil /servicename=”My Service [SysTest]” d:\pathToMyService\Service.exe

and for uninstall:

installutil /u /servicename=”My Service [SysTest]” d:\pathToMyService\Service.exe

Note for the uninstall you need to supply the servicename so windows how to resolve the service to uninstall
