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.
