----------------------------------------
FYI, the work-around for this bug was to manually configure services. I made a
Windows batch-file which set up file dependancies and then added the required
objects to services.msc. It's not very satisfying but it was sufficient for my
purposes.

> Key: JENKINS-12029
> URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-12029
> Project: Jenkins
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: master-slave
> Affects Versions: current
> Environment: Windows 32bit
> Reporter: Salim Fadhley
> Assignee: Kohsuke Kawaguchi
> Priority: Minor
>
> I can launch a slave using web-start and then install it as a windows
> service. After some manual configuration this service reliably starts up &
> connects to the master node.
> For various reasons some of our more powerful servers are shared between
> teams which have their own jenkins master nodes. Previously (with Hudson) we
> ran multiple web-start clients (not as a service) which allowed for any
> number of slaves to run on one computer (providing they were configured with
> unique directories)
> Recently we were forced to switch to using a service - as a consequence we
> have noticed that it is no longer possible to install more than one Jenkins
> slave service on any single box.
> Steps to re-create:
> * Ensure that your slave hosting PC does NOT have any Jenkins slave services
> configured (use sc command to delete if needed)
> * Set up 2 nodes on Jenkins master, give each different directories
> * Launch the first node & configure to run as a service. Verify that slave
> is running.
> * Launch the 2nd node & configure to run as a service
> Result:
> * First slave installs OK, second slave will crash on service installation
> * The 2nd windows service will not be created
> Conclusion:
> * The existance of a previously installed Jenkins service will always cause
> any subsequent jenkins service installations to fail.
> How are we running Jenkins?
> - Tomcat 7 on a Windows 64bit host
> - Slaves are launched via Web-start & then installed as a service.
> With which Java VM (Oracle, IBM etc.)?
> - Oracle, latest in 1.6 series, 64bit
> On which operating system? 32- or 64-bit?
> - Windows 2003 Server R2 64bit for server
> - Windows XP 32bit for slaves
> Did this error start occurring after an upgrade?
> - No
