Thanks Phil
I got it all to work properly. Finally I had an entry for the service in the
service list that would not disappear even after service was uninstalled and
programs removed. It needed me to clean up registry before it would all
install properly.
Now it all installs and uninstalls as intended and can be started and all is
great!
Thanks for your help.
cheers
