I am not sure this is a bug or what but I am hoping to find a solution for it.

My problem is when I installed the Bacula client for Windows with the 
/noservice switch and installed the service either using the /service switch or 
using the SC command afterward, the uninstaller will not be able to remove the 
Bacula-FD service but only the program files. This rendered the machine 
rebooting itself in a loop because of the orphaned service. This only happened 
on Win7 client but not XP. Also the uninstallation worked fine if I just 
installed the client without the /noservice switch. The reason that I needed to 
use the /noservice switch was that I would like to create a installation script 
so that the end user doesn't need to respond to any prompt and no error message 
is prompted during the installation. I compared the bacula-fd service 
registries for both installations (one using the switch and one didn't) and 
they looked identical to me. Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks
