I usually find that this means there is already a "MySQL" service defined - you can verify this in Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services.
If there is a service that exists, go to your current \mysql\bin directory within a command prompt and issue "mysqld-nt --remove" which will delete the current installed service. If you can't get to this (i.e the install dir has been removed) - with the new installer you can use a different name for the service, such as MYSQL41.
