I developed a windows service, called x.exe

Then I created a variant called x.c.exe

I installed both on a target machine.

If I start x.exe, then x.c.exe won't start.

If I start x.c.exe, then x.exe won't start.

Is .NET having trouble distinguishing these services?

Do I need to do something with strongly typed assembly names?

Do the two services attempt to use the same resources? What is the
display name of the services in the Services control panel applet? Are
they different as well?

Yes, it was something like that.

I got them both running now!
