With google I found lots of articeles about this but they all just use the standard windows installUtil but I want to do it myself as I need to find multiple services, uninstall, rename and re-install them with a GUI interface.

So how do I uninstall a service with C# code?

By bad, I did not check it up. Now, it could be temporary failure. Let me check it up a bit later.
