Naming a service at install time

I would like to name a service at install time, so that multiple services
could use the same executable (but different configuration settings). In
order to do this, my service needs to find out at runtime what its name is.
As far as I can tell, it needs to know its name to look up its registry key,
so the registry doesn't seem to be a good place to store this.

Is there any way the service can find out its name (or its registry key) at
runtime, besides passing it as a command-line argument?

Thanks.
