There is no magic with our service.
It is registered (as any other service) to :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\

Note,  the service could be mentioned in other keys. It could be a lot
of  reason  why.  Another  configuration  -  for  example.  I mean not
CurrentControlSet, but  ControlSet001 and so on...

But why do you (or user) need removing it manually?
Even  if  something  wrong  with  uninstaller  you  could use a lot of
third-party  tools  which  give  you  much  more  opportunities  than
Microsoft's applets do.

One more time, Valentina  server service does not use any trick.
So any action which can  be  applied  to  any  windows's  service -
can  be applied to our service too.

BTW,  Are you going to suggest to such users edit registry manually?
I think, it's way to broken registry sooner or later.
