Where does it look? In the resgistry or some place else?
When I check through the services applet I see this:
Service name: CVS
Display name: CVSNT
Description:  CVSNT Service 2.0.58d

Where are these values set? During install by the Innosetup script or
by the service application itself (if it selfregisters as a service)
or how?

On my test server I can use the net command with both CVS and CVSNT as
name, both are able to start/stop the service.
The cvsnt.cpl from 2.0.58d can detect the service but the cvsnt.cpl
from 2.0.62.1849 cannot.
Strange.

Note that I have done an install update all the time since ages ago
using the Innosetup installers. Only these last ones failed.
