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.
