Cause
The VIP custom services will not start when the installer fails with these errors (Start Service and Verify Registered Services) because the VIP processor is setup using the old server name
Resolution
Running the SQL script, Update_Servername_in_live.sql, to update the server name will resolve this issue. It is attached to this article.
