I do service upgrades all the time. Make sure your service exe is being properly versioned so that file costing will cause the component/file to be reinstalled and then set your ServiceControl attributes to stop, remove and start during the install. This will cause windows installer take care of the rest.

I received no answer at the time; is this still an unknown? Or is it just I'm asking for the impossible (when I could have sworn it isn't). In any case, thanks to all - I've learned a lot by reading the other messages on this list.
