Install a windows service twice

[=?Utf-8?B?RnJlZU5FYXN5?=]

Hi,

i have written a windows service which synchronizes data between databases.
This service is running on a database server which holds production and test
databases.
Data access takes place using webservices.
Information on webservice URLs and database connection strings are stored in
the applocation configuration file (app.exe.config).

After doing some changes on the service I now need to install a test version
of this service with different config-settings (URLs and connectionstrings of
test webservices and test databases).

How can I install a new test-version of my service without affecting the
running production service?

regards
Michael

I think it's kind of simple. You make a new name for the service called
"TestService" as an example and install it and make the Web service
TestWebService in the name.

Why do you need to make it anymore complicated than that?
