sc config error 1072

Hi there,

I've deleted a service on a server that can't be rebooted for a while,
and I am trying to restart the service, but it has been disabled. I
tried using sc config, but it is returning a 1072 error, ie.

ERROR_SERVICE_MARKED_FOR_DELETE1
(1072) The specified service has been marked for deletion.
An administrator just attempted an operation (for example, send a
control or start) on a service that has been marked for deletion. A
service marked for deletion means that DeleteService was called for the
service, but the service has not been deleted because some service
handles are still open. A program called OpenService/CreateService for
that service and has not called CloseServiceHandle on the returned
SC_HANDLE. After the last handle to the service is closed, the delete
will finish and the service will terminate.

Is there any way to get around this other than a reboot?
