I am evaluating Adv.Installer 3.9. I've created an installation that consists of a service and an app that monitors the service. The install works fine.
However uninstalling the app does not remove the service.
What do I need to do so that the service is removed during the uninstall?

Have you set up a control action to delete your service? You can do this by going to the 'services' page, then right-click on the 'Services to Install' folder and choose 'New Control Operation.
There is a graphical explanation here

Under the heading 'Setup Control Actions'. It's for a JAVA service, but you can ignore those bits.

Many services are written with command line options to install or un-install themselves. In the custom actions section under Install, you could simply call your service *.exe with the appropriate command line options to install and start it. Under the Uninstall section, you could again call your service with the appropriate command line options to stop and uninstall itself.
