Correct.  the TService::Name property is the true name for the service, and
the value you should be using.

What do you mean exactly?  Please clearify.

You have to add the value to the Registry manually.  In my services, I do
that in the TService::AfterInstall event, and then remove the value in the
TService::BeforeUninstall event.  The value itself needs to be placed in the
following key of the Registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\[ServiceName]
"Description"="Whatever"

Where [ServiceName] is the actual name of your service.

That is because the VCL does not natively support that value.

What are you referring to exactly?  Please clearify.

No thanks.  Already been offered a job by them.  I turned them down.  I'm a
Borlander 100% :-)
