Re: removing a service gone bad

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hello,

The last time I saw this issue, I saw the advice was to Contact APC
support directly and they can send you a paper on manual removal of the
sotware.

I have a problem removing all components of the APC PowerChute Network
Shutdown program. I am trying to reinstall it and it keeps telling me that I
have to remove the existing one first.

What happened was that I first installed it, then wanted to upgrade the Java
1.4.2 runtime that it uses. I should have rewmoved the PowerChute before
removing java, but I removed Java first.

When first prompted to remove PowerChute, I tried the add/remove program
utility in Control Panel but that wouldn't do it, it only allowed me to
remove the name in the list of programs. So far I have removed all visible
files and the APC directory. I even stopped the service and removed registry
entries pertaining to the APC and the Powerchute program. But still
Powerchute shows up in the list of services under "Services".

Anyone have any tips on removing items from the list of services?
