Hi all,
I created window service and Setup project.
It installs window service.
But, when uninstalling, it doesnt remove window service from Service window.

I added primary output to Custom Actions install folder and Uninstall folder.
But, still doesnt work..

How to enable to remove window service when uninstalling?
thank you..

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!
