[wix-users] Does not uninstall windows service.

[Harinatha Narisetty]

I have restarted the machine still 3 out of 4 does not get deleted. Only one gets deleted. Not sure why...
Here are the service files. I don't see any differeneces...


Both the files look same except file names. Is there anything I need to verify on few machines where the service entries not removed upon uninstallation?


SERVICE 1: This does not remove the entry from services consistently.

Sometimes, Windows does not immediately delete the service. Instead, it marks it for deletion on next reboot.Most often, it happens when services.msc is open and the service selected (highlit).

Try closing the services window before uninstalling.
