Sorry if not the right place for this, but I was wondering how to remove a
VB.NET Windows service when the .exe is no longer on my hard drive.

I run installutil.exe c:\wherever\myservice.exe /u but it can't find the
file.

Thanks,
Ron
 
Wel normally you would have done this with proper deinstallation of the
program
i guess you could reinstall the service and then do a proper deinstallation
, this wil remove the service`s registry keys

however anny dependancy`s might stil give a wrong usage count ( if you used
a installer module ) , if it was a manual installation this would
completely solve your problem however if it was a installation routine that
you used and you have dependancy dll`s written to the system directory (
COM ) you could then perfom
( after making sure that no other progy`s use this dep ) perfom a unregister
command by hand and then delete the dll
