Thanks for the input! Again, I wouldn't mind someone else verifying my

I never figured out a built-in way (in WIX) to start/stop dependent Windows
services automagically. For example, the server has IIS installed along with
SMTP & POP3. When I stop IIS (via ServiceControl), the dependent services
also get stopped, but when I restart IIS (via ServiceControl), the depen
Couple of questions:
1) Is it possible to create a new Windows group in WIX2.X?
2) We have some "application-level" users that need write permissions

You can use heat.exe to make your life easier.
There are various posts on how to use it to obtain a WIX fragment that you
can directly use in your poroject.

I don't think I understand your question, but if you are simply trying to

I have been trying to find a post that would sum up how to run a
CustomAction (to run a batch file) at the end of an installation, and in the
same MSI, another CustomAction that would run the corresponding "undo"
