You should be able to use the ServiceControl table (which you can author using the ServiceControl element in WiX).

I'm new to WiX and have an installer that installs a set of PCI drivers. An existing service uses these drivers and I need to stop it before upgrading drivers, then restart it after the drivers have been installed such that the service uses the new drivers. The service has a seperate installer and needs not be included in my driver package installer. What is the most appropriate way to do this? If I can stop the service during the installation then a reboot isn't required, and that would be preferred. I've tried creating custom actions that run a "net stop <service>" and "net start <service>", but haven't got the syntax for that figured out. It seems there has got to be a better way.
