You want to change the ServiceName in two place.

1. In you Service Class
It will look like this.ServiceName = "MyNewService1";

2. In your Installer Class. ServiceName will be available inside the "InitializeComponent" method.
It will look like "this.serviceInstaller1.ServiceName = "MyNewService1";

It will work fine.
