Installing service using SC/ service control

I had a windows service installed on my computer. I deleted it with

sc delete myservice

Then I recreated it with

sc create collector binpath = "path of service"

but service is not listed under services in control panel.

I tried to recreate the service and got:

[SC] CreateService FAILED 1073:

The specified service already exists.

I am trying to delete the service and getting:

[SC] OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

What is causing the problem and how do I solve it?

Try using installutil instead, this fixed similar problem for me.

I've had issues like that installing/uninstalling services before and often I found that I had the Services MMC open while trying command line operations. Closing it out and attempting the install/uninstall again has worked for me in the past. Not sure if that will aid you but it's something that's helped me many times.
