As Edwin says, you didn't get any responses because it looks ok. So: 1. Just as a sanity check, make sure the service hasn't been marked Disabled. You mention it's stopped, but I just want to distinguish between "process not running" and its state in the services view.
2. Another sanity check, use Orca to make sure you have a DeleteServices action in an appropriate place. 3. I would not recommend looking at any other solutions until the reason behind this has been found. All this stuff has worked for ever, so check a verbose log, and see what DeleteServices says.
