Bug #: 51496
Summary: NSIS - Warn that duplicate service name will result in
install failure
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: trunk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Packaging
AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
ReportedBy: knst.koli...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
It was noticed on the users list, that it is not possible to install two copies
of Tomcat with the same service name.

It would be preferable to check for a duplicate name before starting the
installation, but I do not know of a way to check existing service names in
installer.
Is there an API method, or maybe we can look up in the Registry?
It looks that when this error occurs it is too late to go back to the
configuration pages, or to specify a different name. At least we can tweak text
of the message that appears. The current text is:
"Failed to install Tomcat7 service.
Check your settings and permissions.
Ignore and continue anyway (not recommended)?" abort|retry|ignore
