Additional info:

Sorry but you need to read more the Manual regarding how to run
2 server instances starting either as service or standalone. The most
easy way is to use 2 separate my.ini files and to install the service
with the option --defaults-file=path_for_my.ini or to start them with
that option when started as standalone.

Also notice you must to use 2 different service names, different datadir
and basedir and different TCP/IP ports.
