INEDOPROGETSVC - The specified service already exists



  • Hi,

    Could you please help me about this issue ?

    I cannot reinstall ProGet because the service INEDOPROGETSVC is already installed.

    Note: I can't see anymore the service INEDOPROGETSVC

    My ProGet configuration:
    One server Hosting ProGet Services and IIS (over SSL) and an another Server for SQL

    Please find here the Log from the Installer ProGetSetup5.2.2.exe

    Information: Installing the ProGet service...
    Debug: Launching process "D:\ProGet\Service\ProGet.Service.exe" <arguments hidden>...
    Debug: Attempting to create service INEDOPROGETSVC...
    Error: Unhandled exception: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The specified service already exists
    Error: at Inedo.WindowsServices.WindowsService.CreateService(String serviceName, String displayName, String fileName, String userAccount, String password)
    Error: at Inedo.ProGet.Service.Program.install(Boolean web, String user, String password)
    Error: System.InvalidOperationException: D:\ProGet\Service\ProGet.Service.exe returned exit code -2

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Product: ProGet
    Version: 5.2.2



  • I would try to reboot the server; sometimes the windows service manager caches information that makes it hard to detect.

    Next, it could be that you don't have permission to view the service. You can use a tool like sc.exe to unregister the service.

    Then, it should work
