Subject: Re: [WiX-users] stop a service before uninstall You can still use the WiX ServiceControl element to stop the service at uninstall time. There's no requirement that the ServiceControl table refer to services that you're installing. The files-in-use logic will detect that the service is going to be stopped and will not show the files-in-use dialog.
