The 3rd party application uninstaller had removed the files for the service and then left the service in this pending deletion state.

After trying to close all applications, identifing PID of service(couldn't) for kill, logging off all other users and logging off and on, rebooting was the only fix that worked for me.

For some buggy reason both Event Viewer and or Services msc won t do a proper refresh when you tell them to   Close them and restart  and the service would have been deleted anyway

I had a similar problem and what I did to overcome it was the following    Stop the service  net stop  ServiceName  Ensure  the  mmc exe  process does not exist  The  Services  list window   taskkill  F  IM mmc exe Delete the service  sc delete  ServiceName   C  server gt sc delete  ServiceName    SC  DeleteService SUCCESS    Now  if I execute another sc command  what I get is the following   C  server gt sc delete  ServiceName    SC  OpenService FAILED 1060   The specified service does not exist as an installed service    But not the 1072 error message

What I ve done is go to this location in regedit   HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services  From here  you will see a folder for every service on your machine  Simply delete the folder for the service you wish  and you re done   N B  Stop the service before you try this
