How are you trying to stop the service? net stop xxx?
Are you using the value for 'wrapper.ntservice.name' or 
'wrapper.ntservice.displayname'?
Either will work, but the system is internally using 
'wrapper.ntservice.name' as the name of
the service.
It is also possible to use the Wrapper: wrapper.exe -p ..\conf\wrapper.conf

If it can find the service to tell it is running it should be able to 
stop it...

unchanged, but
'wrapper.ntservice.displayname' was modified. The later is what shows up

If you look at the task manager, can you see the wrapper.exe and
