How to remove window service installed when uninstall it with setup package?

[goodmorningsky]

Hi all,

I created window service and Setup project.

It installs window service.

But, when uninstalling, it doesn't remove window service from Service window.

 

I added primary output to Custom Actions' install folder and Uninstall folder.

But, still doesn't work..

 

How to enable to remove window service when uninstalling?

thank you..

Uninstall

 

This may not be related to your problem, but I had issues with the setup project when doing a service...so I used InstallUtil.exe. Its an application supplied by microsoft and you use it through the command prompt.

 

When I install, I have the exe in the same directory as my service app and use the syntax to install:

 

"InstallUtil <app name>"

 

and this syntax to uninstall:

 

"InstallUtil /u <app name>"

 

Hope that helps!
