I came across this problem on different Windows versions: Deinstalling the service was successful, but the service is still listed under "Control Panel -> Services". Additionally running the windows command line tool sc [0], always gives a message like "service is marked for deletion". One reason for this can be (as mentioned under [1]): a) Service still running during uninstallation b) Other processes with "open handles" to the service uninstallation, e.g.: - Service Wrapper Admin Windows (default: tomcat6w.exe) (often another User Session with the Service Wrapper Icon in System Tray) - Control Panel -> Services open After closing all processes with an open handle the service gets deleted immediately, so no reboot is necessary. I'm not aware of an easy method to obtain a list of processes with an open handle. Maybe a windows expert can shed a light on this.
