Problem when trying to Create Search Service Application in SharePoint 2010

When i tried to create search service application in sharePoint 2010 and when i press ok after i filled the properties the process take long long time and then failed to create this service.
So my friend (currently my manager) Mr. Ismail (http://sharepoint4arab.blogspot.com) redirect me to this post on msdn
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepoint2010general/thread/ec0239c1-4451-46dc-ac3a-baffa006c024

so the following solved my problem:

got to regedit in sharePoint servers (Search Server) then go to this path
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\14.0\WSS\Services\

and remove the following :


and go to this path also and remove the following:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\14.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\


 then restart the server .

Note: maybe the name of regitery key are not same as the above image because these name created by a person who filled the properties of Search Service Application or Configuration Wizard.

Done.

Thank you Fadi for this post, it seems that first time you tried to create search server application, it is not completed for some errors during the creation process, anyway I think Microsoft did good job with log files where it registers every step for all processes, so all of us must start troubleshooting from there

Thanks ! Your solution worked for me. I did exactly what is mentioned above and recreated the search service in central administration and finally done.
