Has anyone seen this, or even better, knows how to fix it ?

Run Control Panel, Admin Tools, Services applet.
Right-click on a service (that I wrote and installed); a dialog appears:

Configuration Manager: The specified device instance handle does not
correspond to a present device.

Click Ok. The expected tabbed dialog appears. The service is running (auto
at startup), it can be stopped, re-started etc. Everything seems fine,
except for the dialog, which seems to indicate that something is wrong.

Thanks

Check if your service entry in the registry
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<SvcName>) had a
pre-populated Enum subkey. If so, delete the Enum subkey so that PnP will be
the one who creates it and associates it with a device under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_<SVCNAME>.
