Visual Studio Windows Service Project and Service Name
I have a windows service project and a setup project. I can't figure out how to change the name of the actual service when it is installed (the name listed in windows services . . . services.msc).

If you view the properties for the installer class there is a property called ServiceName which dictates what the name will be in the list of services.

Change the "DisplayName" in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<Service Name> subkey.
