Hey Greg,
I use the following snipt to create an uninstall short cut to remove my 
installations and services for my product, this works for both Windows flavors:

<!-- Create shortcut for uninstall -->
        <Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder">
          <Directory Id="ShortcutFolder" Name="[My Product Name]">
          <Component Id="UninstallShortcutComponent" 
Guid="bc058f23-92fb-44f2-9b88-8917779e7a5d">
               <RegistryKey Root="HKCU" Key="Software\[My Product 
Name]\Uninstall">
                  <RegistryValue Value="UnInstall [My Product Name]"
                  Type="string"
                  KeyPath="yes" />
               </RegistryKey>
               <Shortcut Id="UninstallProduct"
                  Name="Uninstall [My Product Name]"
                  Target="[System64Folder]msiexec.exe"
                  Arguments="/x [ProductCode]"
                  Directory="ShortcutFolder"
                  Description="UnInstalls [My Product Name]" />
               <RemoveFolder Id="RemoveShorcutFolder"  On="uninstall" />
            </Component>
          </Directory>
        </Directory>

Thanks
Fauzi Ashurex

Subject: [WiX-users] Uninstalling Service on Windows Server 2012 Not Removing 
Service

I have a WIX installer build to install a Windows Service. When the uninstaller 
is run on a Windows 8, it properly removes the service. But when run on a 
Windows Server 2012, the service remains. In order to remove the service on a 
2012 server, we are forced to issue an "sc.exe delete" from the console.

 Is there additional parameters that need to be included on a Windows Server 
2012 service installer?

Thank you.
