So I can set a property in custom action if a database exists or not and

Do I need to use condition statement to trigger message?

There is currently no built in facility that I know of for this. You would
need to build a custom action.

You should set Remove="Both" in your service control entry.
This will help in the cleanup and if any other service happens to share the
same name, you remove it.

You can hide the shield icon on the install button if you so wish but a
per-machine package is still going to prompt Windows Installer to
request elevation once you click that button.

Using the UAC shield is completely up to you not WIX. Since WIX is just the
development environment, the job of following guidelines falls to the user.
The WIX compiler can try to guide you down the right path, but it should not
