My CouchPotato install on WHS is a real bear, lately. So as to have a largely headless server install I have CP running on my Windows Home Server machine as a service.
The update bug since R30 means that I can't access the CP webservice, and for whatever reason it is impossible to delete couchpotato.exe. I keep getting an "in use by other programs" error, even when I've shut down every process save system processes and explorer.
Anyone in a similar situation? Any ideas on what I should try? I can't boot the WHS into Safe mode because I don't have access to its boot sequence (being a headless server).

EDIT:
The process was running, even though I couldn't see it. Downloaded a program called Process Explorer and rooted it out, then deleted CP R29 via cmd and it sorted the problem right out.
