I have an installation that has been working well for some time now. I am now trying to add a second service to the installation. I have narrowed it down to the second service being installed and started. The files install just fine but when I add the following: I get error

By the way if I don't start the service and just install it, it is not removed on uninstall. I am not sure how to removed this service now. It will not start and I cannot remove it. Will this be a problem going forward trying to install or update this service so that it starts? From: Kevin Burt
