2 Copies of the same Windows Service on a Server (any Easy way?)

[1944USA]

Is there any way to run 2 or more instances of the same Windows
Service on a server? I've started creating 2 different Windows services
that do exactly the same thing and it just seams like a waste when all
I am trying to do is change the name of the service so that I can
install it a second time.

Thanks

A service exe doesn't have much functionality at a basic level - only a few
basic methods, if you decouple your business logic to DLL's you could just
share your logic between two small exe files
