Uninstalling Windows Services
How do you uninstall a Windows Service without the service's binary. For instance,
installutil -u MyService.exe
Fine, as long as you have the binary. Now, what if you don't? I'm asking because Oracle Universal installer screwed up half way during the installation process and it left some installed Windows Services on my system which I can't uninstall...
btw, there IS A TOOL that can do this. I've done this some two years ago, but I can't remember what this is and where to get it... ****...

SC.exe is the name of the utility that you are looking for it is in the Platform SDK directory though I believe it is shipped as part of the OS now and on the resource kits. You could also delete the registry keys.
