[vlc] Win32 install fails if previous version installed as service.

[Keith Kyzivat]

As far as I know, the installer for this shipped with this version, and
earlier versions of the VLC media player have never provided installation as
a service, thus, why would the new installer check for something that it
never did?
Installers (and programs in general) cannot guard against every conceivable
possible configuration or situation.
