I have a windows service executable that I know is written in .NET which I need to install under a different service name to avoid a conflict. The install doesn’t provide anyway to specify a service name. If I only have access to the binary, is there anyway to override the service name when I install it with installutil?

    Do you have to use InstallUtil? Here are the commands to do what you want using sc:

    sc create MyService binPath= "MyService.exe" DisplayName= "MyService"  
    sc description MyService "My description"
