Has it happened to you? You were trying to install a software, and there was an option for it to retry once it fails, but it instead failed again once you click retry. And worst, it created a duplicate service with a suffix _1, making it difficult even if you uninstall it.
Even if you probably uninstall it, the other service will remain. A way to remove a service is by using windows registry. It's relatively easy, if you know what is a service, you probably know what a windows registry is.
To remove the service on a server do the following:
1. Run Regedit
2. Find the registry entry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services"
3. Find the service you want to delete, it has the same name as shown in the services list. Just right click and select delete on the service you want to remove.
Until next time.
