Thanks for the reply Chad. I have the Remove="uninstall" set in the
ServiceControl .... any other thoughts as to why it wouldn't remove the service
on uninstall?
I've included the relevant wxs below.
Thanks
Josh

Hi Josh - Attachments don't come through on the mailing list, but I
think you just need to add a ServiceControl element with a
Remove="uninstall" attribute. Check it out and see if that helps.

Subject: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall not removing service?
Hi folks -
I just made a very simple Hello World service install with
ServiceInstall. It installed fine. But when I uninstalled, the service
itself remained, despite the fact that the service exe was removed.
It seems to be that the service should have been removed, or the MSI
should have failed... I thought vital defaults to Yes, right? Or is
that just for File?
I've included my wxs file ....
Thanks
Josh
