CF10 Multiserver - Create windows service

Question

Hi,
I've installed ColdFusion 10 on my development machine (Windows 7 64bit) and yesterday created a new server instance in CF10 using the "Enterprise Manager" in the ColdFusion Administrator.  During the creation of this new instance, I didn't check the checkbox to create a Windows service.
Now, I've changed my mind and would like to have a Windows service for this new instance, however I can't figure out how to do it.
I expect you use the coldfusionsvc.exe for this, however I am not having any success with it. What parameters do I need to pass to this to make it work?  The -h option gives the following, but I can't understand what I need to put for <jrun-server>:
c:\ColdFusion10\nws\bin>coldfusionsvc.exe -h
Usage: coldfusionsvc
-install [-norestart] <jrun-server> [service-name [service-display [service-description]]] [-<jrun-option>...]
or -remove service-name
or -start service-name
or -starttimeout <seconds> service-name
or -stop service-name
or -stoptimeout <seconds> service-name
or -logfilesize <no_of_kbs> service-name
or -logfileRotationLimit <no_of_files> service-name
or -status service-name
or -console service-name [-<jrun-option>...]
If I try something like this, I get an error:
c:\ColdFusion10\nws\bin>coldfusionsvc.exe -install nws "cf10-nsw" "ColdFusion 10 - NWS Instance"
CreateService failed with error status 123
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
Many thanks,
Andrew.

The best solution I can find is to not use coldfusionsvc.exe to install the service.
I did it using the sc command, as follows:
sc create "ColdFusion 10 NWS Server" binPath= "C:\ColdFusion10\nws\bin\coldfusionsvc.exe" displayname= "ColdFusion 10 NWS Server" start= auto
(note that the spaces after the equals signs are required)
If you're a pedant like me and also want a description, it looks like you have to do this using a separate execution of the command:
sc description "ColdFusion 10 NWS Server" "The ColdFusion 10 NWS Service"
