Have had FAH at home running on my WHS (HP ex495) for a couple days, but it's staying too hot due to where I have to keep the box.

Now I'm having trouble getting it to stop.

Here is what I have done so far:
- Removed the add-in, but that's just the face and not the guts.
- Tried deleting the folder through remote desktop, but it would not let me since the application was still running.
- Tried to stop the process, through Terminal Service Manager. But it says I don't have access.
- Used the -config options in the console to try and stop the application, but that doesn't help either.
- Walked through the uninstall options on the FAH website, and it didn't help.

Can someone suggest anything?

Which version of FAH are you running? They each have their own method to stop and remove.

Does WHS have safe mode you can go into to uninstall the client?

Was able to get it stopped by stopping the service from running, restarting WHS, then I could delete the folder from the C: drive. Thanks for the replies.

You might have redundant registry entries now then, look here [REGEDIT]

local_machine/system/currentcontrolset/services/

Remove everything you find which links to the removed client. ( can't be more specific since I don't know the original client setup/config but the entries should be self explanatory ) ).

If you don't, your event log will get pretty much filled with 'failed to start service ...' entries, not that much a deal if it's only this entry but registry problems have the tendency to compound.
