I used a DLL to create an NT Service. But at the un-installation time the service is not removed. Any suggestion for this urgent issue is highly appreciated; My DLL has following methods.

DWORD InstallService (LPCTSTR, LPCTSTR,LPCTSTR, BOOL)
DWORD UninstallService(void)
long UninstInitialize(HWND , HINSTANCE , long )
long UninstUnInitialize(HWND , HINSTANCE , long )

Put a call to your uninstall function from the dll in the OnMaintUIAfter function.  If you allow the repair action you'll have to check to see if the user chose Repair or Remove and only call your dll if it's a Remove.

Hope that helps,

Thanks disco, for replying but what will happen to the UninstInitialize() and UninstUnInitialize() functions those will not be called, right?
