Description:
While I was setting up MySQL, I accidentally added a space into the service name. When I clicked the Finish button, the wizard returned me an message saying that an error occured during the configuration of the service. I returned to the "Service Name" screen, erased the space and clicked Finish again. The server was now properly configured. However, in my "Services" console, I see both services : "MySQL 4" and "MySQL4".

How to repeat:
Place a space in the server name while executing the wizard.

Suggested fix:
Check the service name before submitting it to Windows.
