[squid-users] Installation of multiple instances of squid on W2k3-Server

Hi,

I have succesfully setup a squid instance (running as a service) on a
Windows 2003 Server.
Now I would like to setup a second instance. I followed the hints, but
the second service
starts and then stops immediately.
Doing it all from the CLI, I get "Squid is already running! Process ID
3352", as if
two squids parallel won't work.
Each works fine, when it is started alone (CLI or as service). Starting
the second one
brings up the message above (with different PID).

Any ideas?

TIA

Stefan

My setup (Squid Cache version 2.5.STABLE10-NT for i686-pc-winnt):
