      1. Extract the ZIP installation to a folder and use the "service.bat install" command to install it as a Windows service.
      2. Extract the ZIP installation to another folder, and attempt to install using the "service.bat install [ServiceName]" command. It will fail with the error:
        Failed installing 'SERVICE_NAME' service.

    Description

      The service.bat install script doesn't allow for multiple Tomcat service instances, because it uses a static DisplayName when creating the Windows service.

      I've attached a service.bat.in.patch which fixes the issue by appending the %SERVICE_NAME% variable (passed via command line) to the %DISPLAYNAME% variable.
