    How do I remove a service?

    How would I remove a service? I have seen Net Start and Net Stop but how about to delete? I want to delete a service with my installer after it is finished. My installer lets me run an app after its done so i want to call a command to remove a service.

    Thanks

    RobDog's post may help:

    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub NTService1_Start(Success As Boolean)

    2.  
    3. Private Sub NTService1_Stop()

    4.  
    5. Private Sub NTService1_Pause(Success As Boolean)

    6.  
    7. Private Sub NTService1_Continue(Success As Boolean)

    8.  
    9. 'Set the .DisplayName and .ServiceName

    10. 'It requires some commandline parameters to get it going.

    11. '-install

    12. '-uninstall   < ------------------ HERE

    13. '-start

    14. '-stop

    15. '-debug

    The code David is refering to is dependent upon the NTSrv.ocx control.

    If you want to uninstall a service check out some of the service orientated
    APIs like OpenSCManager, CreateService, etc. but you would need the
    appropriate permissions to uninstall a service that you did not create.
