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.
