Great post. Saved me a lot of pain in trying to work the registry to delete a ghost service. Thanks.

What happens if the sc command is run before the uninstall of exe files?

Thanks

Excellent!!! I have installed and uninstalled my service countless times, and never had an issue until today. None of the other fixes worked. Thank you.

This utility saves me time so it is reall6y useful.

I am still in the dark as to why the beginner’s textbook service I created will not uninstall from the VS 2005 IDE.

Is this just Microsoft being crap?

Hi
I am able to delete my service from Service list and registry but it still shows in Add/Remove programs under control panel. Even I have restarted my machine also.
Please help me out.
Thanks
