Thanks for the info Parshuram. I replicated the name of the service per normal installer convention. At this point I am comfortable enough by "fixing" the Email Engine manually that I am not too worried about later patches/SPs having an issue creating the service or removing a duplicate one. The expectation is they system will never go past 7.6.04; it should be retired before 7.6.04 falls off support.
