services

[kraleigh]

I recently installed the XAMPP package for developing PHP applications
When I did I accidently installed the folders incorrectly
I uninstalled xampp several times but for some reason the services won't
uninstall.
I tried a clean install to see if it would alter the path of the services,
but they remain
the same.

N:\INETPUB\apache\bin\apache.exe I receive an error

they should read:
N:\INETPUB\xampp\apache\bin\apache.exe

How do I either uninstall a service from the services window?

or change the path of the service so that it can find the correct
executable?

if you can't help can you send me to a forum or newsgroup that can?

thank you
Kevin

You might try searching the registry for the bad string, and then changing
it when you've found its location.

That's a good idea, but you can delete services using SC in the command
line.

SC delete <servicename>

SC /? for more details.

Reinstalling the service would probably sort out the path problem.

I've just been playing around with this. Try:

SC \\server qc xampp

If BINARY_PATH_NAME is that wrong path, you could change it with SC \\server
config xampp binpath=.....
