Same Windows Service, Multiple installers?


We have 3 software products that each use their own SQL Server database.
These databases may reside on the same server but it is not required. Each
software tool needs its own windows service that monitors the database for
certain events to occur.

Essentially, this windows service is generic except for the database it is
accessing.
So what I'd like in the end, is a named windows service running for each
software tool (i.e. Software tool 1's windows service is named
Software1Service, Software tool 2's windows service is name Software2Service,
etc)

Is this possible? Do I write the one generic windows service and 3 setups?
I've successfully written a windows service and installer before but it's not
obvious to me where you can change the name of the service itself...
