Hi Greg,
I have used this wix element and currently have no issues. I had something similar problem when doing the development that one of the installations did not uninstall services correctly and the later uninstalls did not work correctly. Probably you could try your installation in new cleaner machine. My services is installing and uninstalling correctly and I do not have "Start="install" Stop="both"" mentioned in the wix ServiceControl element. One other reason could be that installer may not have administrative privilages to remove a service.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Service Uninstall not Removing Service I didn't receive any updates from the group on this. Are there issues with uninstalling a service? I see a number of postings on the web regarding this, but no real resolutions. One again, the uninstaller stops the service, removes the program from the installed programs list, but does not remove the service from the Services list. If you have any suggestions, I would like to hear them. Thanks again. -Greg -----Original Message----- From: Greg Edwards [mailto:gedwa...@polariswireless.com] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2013 10:30 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Service Uninstall not Removing Service WIX Users, I have created a simple windows service installer with the following configuration: <Component Id="C__082DF38F8BE3C98E690ECA979BEBD98F" Guid="{980F0B9A-9F25-B729-7225-F24075392C80}"> <File Id="_082DF38F8BE3C98E690ECA979BEBD98F" Name="AltusService.exe" KeyPath="yes" ShortName="ALTUSC1.EXE" DiskId="1" Source="$(var.AltusService)\Service.exe" /> <ServiceInstall Id="ServiceInstaller" Type="ownProcess" Vital="yes" Name="AltusService" DisplayName="Altus Service" Description="Altus Service" Start="auto" Account="LocalSystem" ErrorControl="ignore" Interactive="no" /> <ServiceControl Id="StartService" Start="install" Stop="both" Remove="uninstall" Name="AltusService" Wait="yes" /> </Component> It installs correctly and starts the service as expected. When I uninstall the service it stops it correctly, but it does not remove the service from the service list. Is there something that I am missing in my configuration that may be hindering the service from being removed? Thank you. -Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
