I have pared this down to a very simple service install which I simply install and then uninstall. I can demonstrate that only the first entry in the ServiceControl table is used by the restart manager.
Does anyone know how to take this up with the Windows Installer team to see if there any sort of workaround or to at least bring it to their attention?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Files in use I have been doing some more research on this and have found that restart manager only reads the first entry in the ServiceControl table and this must be a service stop. If you have more than one service or have a separate start and stop and stop is not first it doesn't detect that the service will be stopped. Has anyone else observed this? Does anyone have it working when installing more than one service?
