When I try to install a (renamed) second EDB Server as a service, I get
this error message:

Service "ElevateDB Server" failed to install with error: "System Error.
 Code: 1078.
Der Name wird bereits als Dienstname oder als Dienstanzeigename verwendet"

Translated: "The name is already in use as a service name or display name".

Any workaround?

Thanks Uli

Did you actually change the filename of the second server, or just put it in a separate folder?

This is just a guess, but taking a quick look at where the service is started in edbsrvr.dpr, it looks like it pulls the server name from the server's .ini file.  If both of your server's are reading the same .ini file then it looks like the service names will then be the same.

Hope this helps.

My bad... I reread your first message and see that yes, you did rename it.

Thanks anyway.

Make sure that you set up an .ini file for both servers, and that the Server
Description in the .ini file is different.  Windows wants the display names
of the services to be different, in addition to the core executable names.
