Install, uninsttall and kill a Windows Service

After having set up new build environment I decided to note some tips on working with Windows services, for myself to remember, and for others to easily find needed steps. So, off we go.

To install a Windows service (in a Windows 7 environment):
1) Copy service files (including the .exe) to the folder C:\MyService
2) Open command prompt as Administrator
3) cd to C:\MyService
4) Install Windows service from commant prompt using installutil.exe:

C:\MyService>C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\installutil.exe /serviceName="My Service" MyService.exe

To uninstall a Windows service:
1)  Open command prompt as Administrator
2)  cd to C:\MyService
3)  c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /u  /serviceName="My Service" MyService.exe

Sometimes, it can happen that Windows Service can not be stopped. It remains in status Stopping, and never stops actually. Then you would have to kill it:
1)  Open command prompt as Administrator
2)  sc queryex MyService. You will receive the following information:

SERVICE_NAME: MyService
        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
        STATE              : 4  RUNNING
                                (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0
        PID                : 4084
        FLAGS              :

3)  taskkill /F /PID 4084
