Multiple instances of windows service

Hi. I've built a windows service and I need to make an installation program
that creates multiple instances of this service. Being more specific, what I
need is to run the installation, ask the instance name and create a new entry
on the services list and Add/Remove Programs so that I can uninstall each
instance separately, start and stop each service without dependencies.
Is there a way I can do that with the setup projects of Visual Studio? Do I
need to use other installation tools? Do I need to make my own installation
program to make everything Windows Installer does?
I'd thank some help.

Please note that I need to have distinct instances of executables installed not merely multiple windows services defined within...

We have multiple ASP.Net web apps in development. As a standard we are looking to go with SQL Server to hold state information. Can we have the multiple apps all point to a single State DB? Or do we need to install multiple instances of the State database on to the SQL Server (one for each Web app)? It would seem that you could run into troubles pointing several web apps at the same DB, because you would introduce the possibility (a...

I currently have a Windows Service that runs Transactions that are very Processor/Memory Intensive. I have a requirement to deploy multiple instances of the Web service on the Same server. Each Instance needs to run in its own process. My current approach to this is to put all the logic into a separate "Worker" assembly and install it into the GAC. I'm then going to create Multiple Windows Services (i.e. MyService1, MyService2 etc..)...

Hi all, I have created a windows service that is working well. Now i want to create the multiple instances of this service on the same box. How could it be possible?. One way that I thought was to create a contructor in the service class that will take the service name as the parameter and that may work but every time i have to recompile the program to add more instances.
