"Service Display Name" Error in Installation Wizard?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

It's telling you that there is already a service that uses the proposed
short name and or display name. You can find them at
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

The key name is the short name. Within each service the Reg_Sz string
"DisplayName" is the display name as seen in Control Panel|Administrative
Tools|Services
