I'm trying to create my first Windows Service in C# VS2010 and slowly discover how I should do things. But now I have reached a point, where I cannot install a new version of my service. My setup program tells me

Error 1001. Service MyService was not found on computer '.'. --> The specified service does not exists as an installed service.

The last part of the message is translated into english from danish.

I cannot see the service in either the service list (services.msc) or in the registry. I have removed the left overs from a previous installation, so no traces here either. I have emptied the temporary folder under my windows account.

Where do I locate the rest of the remains obstructing my installation of the service?
