Thanks for the notes - I had the same idea too and saved it for my 
reference.

However, it was easier to download the agent zip install 
<https://www.gocd.org/download/#zip> and to use the batch scripts in the 
bin/ folder to install the windows service after modifying the properties 
in wrapper-config/wrapper.conf 

One problem I have now is that on the GoCD agents page the agent name for 
all agents is identical - the value is the machine hostname instead the 
windows service name! Any idea how to set the agent name displayed on the 
agents page?

Thanks,
Emil
