I have somehow managed to half uninstall a windows service I was developing.
In no particular order
It won't delete if I use sc delete servicename
It gives an exception using installutil /u pathtoservice.exe
"specified service does not exist as an installed service"
And using the installer/uninstaller obviously doesn't work either
It's no longer in the Services listing
It's not shown if I use sc query
And I have rebooted
I don't know what else to do, but something still exists, because attempting to install fails because it already exists.
Please help.
