I've had problems in the past with a service not starting as expected
because of missing dependencies but never a problem uninstalling the
service.
I don't see anything obviously wrong here. I checked the ServiceInstall
and ServiceControl documentation to double check syntax and everything
looked correct. I see the ServiceControl documentation for Remove says "
Specifies whether the service should be removed by the DeleteServices
action on install, uninstall or both." Perhaps the DeleteServices action
is not getting scheduled or is not executing due to a condition or
something similar? I wouldn't expect this but it's worth looking at a
verbose log to determine what is happening with the DeleteServices
action. We can troubleshoot further from there.
