Problem uninstalling Windows Service

I created my first Windows Service in dotnet 1.1.

I installed it. It needs debugging. I couldn't stop it so a rebooted.
Then I made the mistake of fixing code for it and rebuilding and replacing
the previoius myservice.exe with the new one before doing

InstallUtil /U on the old one.

Now I can't seem to uninstall the old or install the new.

So I thought, "I will just delete the thing from the registry.. So I found
the services on the Local Machine and deleted mine, but it still shows up in
Services list.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Shane

Hi We are trying to debug a problem with services created using py2exe. It seems that these problems have arisen after services were installed and removed a few times. OK, first the actual problem we're seeing. After compiling a service with py2exe, running "service -install" and attempting to start it from the Services dialog, it pops up the message "Windows could not start the Service on Local Computer.

First if there is a better group to post this to please let me know. Installutil Service.exe /u will uninstall a service. However, if I try to reinstall the service without rebooting it error's out saying that the service is marked for deletion. Is there a way to have windows complete the service uninstall without rebooting? -- Thanks Wayne Sepega

Is there any way to install the IBM Distributed Debugger V9.2 on Windows XP without first uninstalling DB2? I installed the IBM Distributed Debugger V9.2 on my Windows XP box in the hopes of debugging a Java stored procedure. Well, I never got the debugger to work despite my best efforts - see posts earlier this week - so now I'd like to uninstall the debugger. I looked into this but the README says: 3.1 Uninstalling on Windows

Hi, I accidently uninstalled IIS 5.1 on my XP Pro workstation and I think I messed up my .Net framework. Then, I reinstalled IIS and ran aspnet_regiis -i.

Our web service was working fine until we installed .net Framework 1.1 service pack 1. Uninstalling SP1 is not an option because our largest customer says service packs marked as "critical" by Microsoft must be installed on their servers.

This can be easily verified: Implement the following in a web service method (just raises a SOAPException with a...

Hi all, I have replied with my own questions to an older post entry but after a while I thought it's better to start a new thread based on the previous one. Perhaps with the new thread I will catch more eyes and find someone who had the same problem and solved it or has more information about it. This is a summary of my problem:

Overview: 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,...
