Hi,
I think I finally have this narrowed down to a reproducible scenario.
Reproducible on my machine, at least. :-)
- If you install with default service ID (pgsql-8.0-beta1) and the
service is started when you run uninstall, then it is removed immediately.
- If you install with default service ID (pgsql-8.0-beta1) and the
service is stopped, then it is marked as disabled and removed at first
reboot.
- If you use a custom service ID, then it is never removed and you have
to use a registry editor to delete it manually.
Regards,
Aleksander
