Hi,
I have finally got my windows service installing OK using the vs.net
installer- however, when I uninstall the application it leaves an orphned
service entry in the service control manager list. If I try and run the
'MyService' it says the system cannot find the specified file. If I try to
reinstall the service I get the error message that the service already
exists.
So, 2 questions really:
- How can I remove the dodgy entry manually?
- How can I get the windows installer to uninstall the service fully if
uninstalled via the Add/Remove programs interface?
Many thanks in advance,
Stu

When you uninstall are you leaving the services window open? I have seen
this cause issues because it locks the keys in the registry that control
what is listed and will not allow the entries to be removed.

You should be able to locate the key that you need to remove by looking in
the registry under:
HKLM\CurrentCon trolSet\Service s
Then just delete the key... But the uninstaller should really take care of
that for you...

That got it - it also required a reboot after the registry entry was
removed.
Many thanks.

Is that even possible?
I am creating a web service in .NET to expose some already created .NET
programs to other groups. One group is writing the client in PERL, and thus
wishes the wsdl schema to not be sequenced. (PERL hashes do not retain order
information) First, the w3 specs don't mention the sequence in any detail -
its just there in the examples, which makes me wonder if removing the
sequence tag is even supportable. Second,...

What would be a good way to check programmatically whether a service was
running?
We have a service that dies periodically and I need to check to see if this
service is running. I know how to check to see if the status is in stopped
or running mode. But that doesn't tell me if it is actually running.
I need to know this so that if it happens I can programmatically start the
same service on another machine.

"InstallUtilLib.dll Unknown error"
How can I remove the service from my machine? The service is disabled
(obviously) but I am trying to clean stuff off the hard drive.

Hi,
I have a windows service which uses XSL templates to format the data
received from SQL database in a dataset. The XSL templates allow to add
information (using parameters and variables) at various points in the text.
I'm looking for another approach which can allow me to replace XSLT and build
custom formatted strings(including hyper links, and rich text).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
