The only reason not to use ServiceInstall and ServiceControl is the DRY principle (Don't Repeat Yourself).Since I MUST provide a way for users to start/stop/install/delete the service from the console, I don't want to replicate that mechanism anywhere else, hence the very simple actions in a DLL that invoke these operations.

Both DRY and Occam's Razor include the term "unnecessarily." Correctly handling service installation isn't "simple," so this is a case where repeating the information has value.
