Do you have some more information?

It's not possible (at least on XP) to create a service that has 
'SERVICE_KERNEL_DRIVER | SERVICE_FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVER'.

services: Allow one more combined service type

After that i tested a bit the service installer of the app (WinIoEx, can be found somewhere at sourceforge) and it
seems the ServiceType in the Registry is sometimes set to 1(as the app wants it to) and sometimes to 3(wtf?).
Can you confirm this?
The regkey is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WINIOEX\Type
i'm running a wow64 setup

Couldn't reproduce (wow64 as well) but:

looking at the source of that app I see that 'Type' is manually set to 3 
(bug in the app I'd say) and after that the CreateService should set it 
to 1. Not sure where things go wrong but this patch is definitely not 
correct.
