Hi,
When I tryto uninstall a service from the Service Control Manger with the command:
Sc delete<service-name> and Process Explorer is running the service is not deletedbut only marked for deletion. At the moment I close Process Explorer theservice is deleted. It seems Process Explorer keep an open handle to the WindowsService Control Manager.
Reinstalling the service fails when the current instance needs to be deleted, this causes my installer to fail. Keeping Process explorer running during installation is however handy to watch the installation process.
