How to remove services created by "instsrv" from restoolskit?

Hi,

I have installed the restoolskit on my win2k3 server corp. ed. Just for
curioscity, I successfully created a service entry for "Spam Inspector
Service" using instsrv from the restoolskit, i.e. instsrv "Spam Inspector"
"C:\Program Files\Spam Inspector\siservice.exe". However, when I tried to
start the service, I got the following error messages:

Could not start the Spam Inspector service on Local Computer
Error 1053: The service did not respind to the start or control request
in a timely fashion.

Knowing the service does not work, I tried to remove it to noavail, i.e.
instsrv "Spam Inspector" remove, and got the following error messages:

d:\nt\sdktools\reskit\content\instsrv\source\instsrv.c: Error 1783 from
EnumServicesStatus on line 184

I wondered if anyone out here can help me out to remove this service entry
created using instsrv from the restoolskit package. Thanks.
 
There is no HKLM\software\system\currentcontrolset\services\Spam Inspector
registry on my win2k3 svr; however, there is
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\Spam Inspector registry. Can I just
remove that "Spam Inspector" registry?

Hi,

There is a GUI tool "srvinstw.exe" in Win 2000 resource
kit. You may try it.

Hi,

Thank you for posting!

I think you'd better to export the registry key
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\Spam Inspector to an REG file and
then remove it. After that, restart your computer to see if the service
will start and any error message will occur.

Have a nice day!

I only have the following executable w.r.t "srv" in my restoolskit
directory:

04/18/2003 06:06 PM 8,192 srvany.exe
04/18/2003 06:06 PM 5,120 srvcheck.exe
04/18/2003 06:06 PM 39,936 srvinfo.exe
04/18/2003 06:06 PM 179,200 srvmgr.exe

I tried srvmgr and there was no "delete/remove" services.

Could you kindly be more elaborate regarding "export the registry key"? I am
clueless here. I just followed one of the responses here to delete the entry
in the registry key, rebooted the computer, and the "Spam Inspector" service
is no longer shown in the services.

Back to my original post that I forgot to ask, why `instsrv "Spam Inspector"
remove' gives the following error:

d:\nt\sdktools\reskit\content\instsrv\source\instsrv.c: Error 1783

Defintely, I don't have
d:\nt\sdktools\reskit\content\instsrv\source\instsrv.c source code on my D:
drive.

Hi Mazi,

As you have deleted the registry key, you cannot export it any more. Next
time, you can export the registry key by the below steps.

1. Lauch REGEDIT
2. Navigate to the registry key you want to export. Right click it, and
choose Export from the context menu
3. Specify the location to store the REG file

Regarding the message about
"d:\nt\sdktools\reskit\content\instsrv\source\instsrv.c: Error 1783",
Instsrv is the Windows Installer service which attempts to remove "Spam
Inspector" service, but it encountered unexpected error or it failed to
remove the service.

Have a nice day!

You can use instsrv to remove as well - at the comman prompt type:

intstsrv <Service Name> REMOVE
